The "ketchup on a hot dog" debate concerns the question of if ketchup is a valid condiment for hot dogs. Within the city of Chicago, United States, it is considered a culinary taboo to condiment hot dogs with ketchup. US President Barack Obama once said in 2016 that "it is not acceptable after the age of 8" to season the meal thus.
Background
Ketchup is a general name for various salty and spicy condiments, the most famous being tomato ketchup, which has a salty taste. A hot dog consists of a long frankfurter sausage within a long bun.
