The Golden Rules of Hot Dog Toppings

So some questions I have for someone who likes a hot dog: what do you like on your hot dog?  I am a simple man; I go with either spicy brown, yellow, or robust Dijon.

While relish is acceptable, ketchup on a hot dog is an absolute no-no; ketchup is for French fries; keep it away from my hot dog. The only thing worse than ketchup is not putting anything on your hot dog.
