Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise and then slice each half into 4 wedges to create 8 wedges in total. Set aside.
Chop half a cup of onions finely and set aside for assembly.
Prepare the vegetarian hot dog sausages according to the package instructions. This typically involves grilling, boiling, or pan-frying for about 5-10 minutes until heated through.
While the hot dogs are cooking, preheat the hot dog buns briefly in the oven or toaster to warm them up (about 2-3 minutes).
Place a cooked vegetarian hot dog sausage in each poppy seed bun.
Add a line of yellow mustard along the hot dog.
Spoon approximately one tablespoon of sweet relish over the mustard on each hot dog.
Place a dill pickle spear along the side of each hot dog inside the bun.
Add two tomato wedges between the bun and each hot dog.
Top each hot dog with about two teaspoons of the chopped onions.
Place one pickled sport pepper on each side of the hot dog.
Finish by sprinkling a pinch of celery salt over the assembled ingredients.
Serve the Vegetarian Chicago Style Hot Dogs immediately while warm.
