For the life of me I dont get the ketchup on hot dogs thing. For me a hot dog is just a base for you to put whatever the hell you want on it. I say this because for the most part you arent eating it with nothing on it because in general that isnt the best part of a hot dog. Its the toppings.


I don't give AF what you put on your hot dogs BUT I think the general viewpoint from Chicago ppl is that ketchup doesn't make sense when you eat a typical chicago dog (dragged through the garden ie pickle, sport peppers, onion, tomatoes, relish, celery salt, mustard).

The stupidest rule has to be the "don't eat raw squirrel brains because of risk of prion proteins that fold abnormally, leading to lesions in the brain" rule. Sure it could happen rendering you a brain dead vegetable, but you could also be struck by lightening.

To be honest, I'm now a purist when it comes to Cajun food, but all of my knowledge of it came from here.


There is room for both smug fusion David Chang types and smug purest in this world. I’d argue they are both necessary.

Side note: his crawfish episode on Netflix was so unbearably smug. He missed the obvious conclusion is that viet-Cajun crawfish is the better restaurant product and traditional is better at home.

I make good potato salad that doesn't need the overpowering taste of pickle juice or mustard to make it flavorful, and i love pickles and i love mustard.

What's in this potato dish you call (wrongly) potato salad? BTW, it may be good, but it's not potato salad.

That episode made me rage so hard I don't know if I watched any others I might have watched the fried chicken one, where he called everyone who isn't black racist if they make fried chicken.

In the crawfish episode, he was such an arse to/about the Vietnamese family that makes them the traditional Louisiana way. I laughed when he asked them where they're from or made a reference to it and they said very plainly, "I'm a New Orleanian".

There are plenty of potato salad recipes without pickles, you should branch out some

That and when he goes to Freeport and is shocked to find out that industrial blue collar Vietnamese aren’t liberal.

Probably. I am just messing with him due to how terrible his original post was.

Ketchup is red corn syrup. If you're eating it on anything other than french fries over the age of 12, you're doing it wrong.

I didn't know it was controversial until 3 minutes ago

I think it's a Chicago thing

Honestly hot dogs are such low brow food that you'd be a fool to assign rules to it

I'm aware. They are rare though, but i'd eat any potato salad that doesn't have relish, and i'll continue to try them with the relish hoping to like it, but i simply can't stand it.
As the point of this thread was, it's seems to be a rule to put relish in potato salad, and that's my stupid food "rule". Sorry you don't like my input on a stupid food rule.

You realize I was replying to someone else and also agreeing with you?

You have to let meat rest before slicing. Meathead from amazing ribs debunked that myth.

You know how you can de-debunk meathead? Slice a steak right off the grill and watch what happens to it.

No tomato product in jambalaya, ever.


Yeah I don't get this. Are people denying that Creole Jambalaya exist?

There can be more than one type of Jambalaya. Cajuns seem a little insecure sometimes. I mean for god sakes, if you can replace the rice with pasta you can put tomatoes in occasionally.

I make a good Jamabalaya with all the ingredients of a Chicken Sauce Piquante.

No cheese on seafood


I went to one of those convenience stores in the hood in New Orleans; you know the ones that sell 2 ft po-boys for cheap, and where you can get 30lbs of random meat parts for $59.99. I got a catfish po-boy and they put American cheese on it. Pretty strange if you ask me. I just took it off and it was a good po-boy.

I do actually like melted provolone on a grilled shrimp poboy.
