Chicago-style relish explained

Chicago-style relish is a type of sweet pickle relish typically used on Chicago-style hot dogs.[1] [2] The unique color of the relish, often referred to as "neon green", is created by adding blue dye to regular pickle relish.[3] The first use of Chicago-style relish on a hot dog has been attributed to several different restaurants, including Fluky's[4] and Superdawg.[1]
