Hot Dog

ℹ️ The humble hot dog, a beloved street food staple, traces its roots to the 19th-century German immigrant communities in the United States. Originally known as "Frankfurter Wurstchen" in Frankfurt, Germany, and "Wiener Wurstchen" in Vienna, Austria, these sausages gained popularity in the U.S. Incorporating the traditional sausage into a bun is credited to various vendors at events like the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. The term "hot dog" likely emerged due to a humorous association with dachshund sausages resembling the shape of a dog. Today, the hot dog is an iconic part of American culinary culture, enjoyed with diverse toppings and styles.
