Original sentence: A Chicago-style hot dog is traditionally said to be a Vienna beef hot dog topped with chopped onions, diced tomatoes, a dill pickle spear, pickled hot peppers ("sport peppers"), pickle relish, mustard, and celery salt, and served on a poppy seed bun
Edited sentence: But saying that doesn't sell meat products, and so a legend was fabricated.Chicago has a relatively brief warm season, with the result that in many years, ripe (or even near-ripe) tomatoes aren't available, even in August, even at the farmer's markets.In reality, the combination above would have seldom been seen in Chicago, except when it was being sold to tourists who came to town expecting it.Mis-associated with Chicago in particular is that bit of fakelore known as "the Chicago-style hot dog", said to traditionally be a Vienna beef hot dog topped with chopped onions, diced tomatoes, a dill pickle spear, pickled hot peppers ("sport peppers"), pickle relish, mustard, and celery salt, and served on a poppy seed bun.Obviously, real traditions aren't built with specific brand names in mind, and when one encounters such an outlandish claim online, one should suspect that one has encountered the work of a corporate shill.Or that an overeager tourist took a well known advertising poster that he saw at "Five Faces" on Division Street far too seriously, mistaking ad copy for genuine cultural history.The boring reality is that people mixed their own toppings, with no elaborate set combination, and that the most popular choice has been "just mustard, please".The pickled "sport pepper" is something usually associated with Italian-American cooking, and the hot dog is, well, not.The remarks sometimes seen regarding this alleged tradition, as a matter of fact, are almost a word for word repetition of the text of ad posted in a prominent place in that diner, a small, but heavily visited location in one of Chicago's major tourist destinations, suggesting that in said poster was to be found the origin of the fakelore
