In Venezuela they eat hot dogs with mayo, onions, ketchup, mustard, relish, yellow (or Cheddar) cheese, topped with mini french fries for crunch!

I know it sounds disgusting, but I love to put cream cheese on my hot dog bun...it's like the most delicious mayonnaise ever!

Hebrew National on a quality bun, with plain old yellow mustard and chopped white onion. Can't beat sublime simplicity, sigh...

Just plain ol' yellow mustard...and plenty of it!

1st up: Cream Cheese spread on both sides of the bun (a must). Then, ketchup on one side and mustard on the other side. Next up, dill or sweet relish. And over the top - shredded carrots. Yum.

Dijon mustard on boths sides of the bun, then minced red onion and pickle relish spread over the mustard, then dog. I top the "hot" dog with finely grated sharp cheddar cheese so that it melts slightly. Yuuummm!

Dressing...Schmessing. You have to start out with a good dog (Hebrew National or Nathan's preferred — Costco's Polish dogs are okay too). Then don't muck it up. Plain bun. Yellow mustard and sweet onions (Walla Walla or Texas Sweets). YUM.

I'm a native Southerner (from Tennessee). The SE Tennessee way to eat a hot dog is with cole slaw (called a "slaw dog"). My personal favorite way to eat a hot dog is with mustard and slaw. If I'm feeling really adventurous, I like mustard, chili and slaw. The mix of salty (dog), sour (mustard) and sweet (slaw) is perfect. The slaw gives the dog a nice crunchy texture, too.
