Learn More About The Hot Dog Drawing

Hot dogs, also called Frankfurters, wurst, franks, or wieners, are a type of seasoned sausage. The food originated in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. They had been eaten there since at least the thirteenth century.

In the Middle Ages, the common people were gifted this food in celebration when a king was crowned. They had reached the United States before 1900 and became "an archetypal American food" - a dish that set the standards for modern fast food.

Ketchup and mustard may be the most common hot dog toppings, but preferences vary by region. German and New York style hot dogs usually include spicy brown mustard and sauerkraut, a tangy topping made from cabbage.

In the American South, chili cheese dogs are popular, while the Chicago dog has a poppy seed bun, onions, a dill pickle spear, and hot peppers.

Corn dogs are hot dogs dipped in pancake or cornbread batter and deep fried, often served with mustard. Various baseball teams also promote their own signature style of hot dog.

Hot dogs have long played a role in American popular culture. They soon came to be associated with baseball, as they were served as concessions at games.

In 1904, Thomas Edison produced a humorous film entitled "Dog Factory," in which men used a machine to transform rolls of sausages into actual dogs - mutts, terriers, dachshunds, and so forth - and vice versa.

Today, the popular Shopkins collectible toy line includes Frank Furter and the Cutie Cars Hotdog Hotrod.
