Important rules to live by:

  1. Ketchup only belongs on things made of potatoes. French fries, potato chips, hash browns – these are all acceptable vessels for ketchup. Hot dogs and hamburgers are not made of potatoes and therefore should not be sullied by ketchup.
  2. Mustard makes everything better. Hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches of all kinds – these are the canvas for mustard art. But many potential delicacies are often served without benefit of mustard. Lasagna and pizza are prime examples of foods that are always better with mustard, but sadly often deprived of their mustard enhanced glory.
  3. Sandwiches should be constructed from bottom to top → bread, condiments, protein, cheese, “other” toppings (lettuce, mushrooms, pickles), bread.
