Organic Facts

" . . . The quality of the fruits and vegetables available at grocery stores is terrible. Most are laden with toxic substances, such as sulfates on grapes, pesticides . . . many times fruits and vegetables are imported from foreign countries that use toxic pesticides that are illegal in the United States."

The Organic Condiment Aisle

June 11th, 2009 - Barbara Feiner

How do you top your natural, organic or vegetarian hot dog?

The answer may depend on where you live. Regional favorites include:

New York—spicy mustard, sauerkraut
Chicago—cucumber, tomato, pickle, onion, pickle relish, celery salt
South—coleslaw, mustard, onions
Seattle—cream cheese, onions
Southwest—corn relish, bacon
Greek-style—sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, kalamata olives
Midwest—melted Swiss cheese, sauerkraut
California-style—guacamole, sprouts, sunflower seeds

For me, nothing beats the basics: organic mustard, relish and fresh onions. Other family members opt for organic ketchup and sauerkraut. Here’s what you’ll find on my summer shopping list:

Whichever toppings you choose, dress the dog—not the bun. Apply condiments to the dog in the following order:

Wet condiments (mustard, chili)
Chunky condiments (relish, onions, sauerkraut)
Shredded cheese
Spices (celery salt, pepper)
