There’s just something about a good hot dog that screams summer. Whether you like it classic or fully loaded, there’s no better time to celebrate your love for this iconic American favorite than on National Hot Dog Day!
But have you ever wondered how the humble hot dog came to be?
A Bite of History
The hot dog’s roots trace back to Europe, where sausages have been enjoyed for centuries. German immigrants brought these sausages to the U.S. in the 1800s, and they quickly became popular as a convenient and delicious street food. The term “hot dog” is believed to have been coined in the early 1900s when cartoonists began drawing dachshund-shaped sausages and jokingly called them “hot dogs.” The name stuck, and so did the obsession.
Fast forward to today, and the hot dog is a true staple of American cuisine—especially during summertime cookouts, ball games, and casual lunches.
