I can turn this no poppy into a positive. Here’s why,, I am not offering a poppyseed bun because of the pigeon issue in my downtown location. What I’ll say to my customer when they say “Hey, No Poppyseed Bun?” I laugh and tell “Hey,, you tryin’ to fail a drug test?” Then we both will just laugh it off!!!
Thats my plan!!

Hi Renee and Susan
I do serve traditional toppings. Tomato, onion pickle and green pepper. I do not serve the cucumbers. I serve jalapeno peppers in place of sport peppers. I serve nachos from my cart also. I serve the jalapeno to keep my overhead down. I can use the jalapeno on the dog, nachos and walking taco. I use a very high quality and local meat product. I am the Home of the Belly Buster. It is a giant all beef frank that is smoked. And it is awsome. I am trying to get that product on the map. Because it is just that good. I also have experience cooking professionally. I wanted to bring a new product to the market to set us apart from all the other doggers. I serve an all beef traditional hot dog and The Belly Buster. You can get that with any combination of toppings you want that are available. I also serve what we call the Sloppy Dog and the Big Belly. They come with chili, cheese, tomato, onion, green pepper, jalapeno pepper and a pickle. They are very tastey…if I do say so myself. Nice to hear from you. Let me know if you have any other questions.

My eyes are opened. I also served in the military in the 80′s. Not one person ever warned us about poppy seeds. I did not realize that poppy seeds could cause so much trouble. But it seems like you would need to eat a lot of them to test positive.

But then again if you have ever seen how big the cops in Chicago are you would know why they are told to stay away from the Chicago Dogs.

I have been selling Chicago style hot dogs for 13+years. I make them the way they are originally made. I use only Vienna beef. The comments I here about what effects poppy seeds can do are too far and few for it to effect my business in any way.

I served in the Marine Corps from 1994-1998, and I saw several friends of mine (POP) on a random drug test, I can honestly say, that these guys were good Marines and would NEVER smoke Pot, but in the Marines it’s black and white. No room for discussion. If you tested positive you were sentenced, dropped in rank, your pay was reduced and 4-6 months latter you were no longer a Marine. This is real,,,The T.V. show Myth Buster did a episode on this and they found it to be TRUE….

As a trusted reader pointed out to me, perhaps Snopes needs to be Snoped themselves.

Hmmm I thought, maybe he’s right. So I just did a little more research to see if other sites come to the same conclusion. They all agree on this subject. Here’s what I found.

Eating one poppy seed bagel will typically give you a 300 ng/ml result on urine test for opiates. The U.S. Military uses cut off levels of 3000 ng/ml in order to minimize false positives.

I used plain buns at King Weenie just because poppy seed buns are hard to get here.

As Tim and Pat said in their comments, unless you are from Chicago, you wouldn’t know the difference.

None of my customers did.
