Called "Texas Hots" or just "Hots" here.
All beef hot dog, spiced finely ground beef sauce, diced fresh onion, and mustard.
ETA: Oh, and a lightly steamed bun!
Where I grew up, in the north east corner of NY state, such a dog is called a michigan. Ideally, the dogs should be the red Glazier frankfurters made with pork and beef and a snappy natural casing.
You order your michigan "with," "without," or "with buried," all referring to the fresh chopped onion. In the last option, the onions are buried under dog and sauce. Mustard is applied in a single line. I've never heard of any other condiments being used. I don't know what would happen if you asked for ketchup or relish. It certainly doesn't seem right.
