    Why Is It Called Hot Dog?

    Hot dogs are famous in the United States. But have you ever wondered why it is called a hot dog? Be sure that it does not include any dog meat. Hot dogs, called sausages, wieners, or frankfurter, are made of meat and fat that is left after chopping all the parts of the chicken or beef.

    I found out that it all started as a joke. When German people immigrated to America, they brought with them sausages and a dachshund, a type of dog with a long body and short legs.

    So maybe, someone holding a hot frankfurter sandwich threw a joke; “Oh look! These sausages look like that dog! I am eating a hot dog!” And everyone around laughed and the trend went viral. Maybe this is what has happened. Lol!


    Wherever it came from, Hot Dog Sauce is a staple at diners and drive-ins. People ask for extra sauce for its savory delicious taste.

    What makes this sauce the perfect choice is that it is versatile. One bowl of Homemade Hot Dog Sauce fits it all! You can slather it over a hot dog, brats, burgers, omelets, or even a grilled cheese sandwich. Try it over some

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between Coney island sandwich and top chili dogs sandwich?

    They are almost the same. However, Coney island is not necassary chicli and some brown onions and yellow mustard are set on the top of the sandwich. Chili dog sandwich is usually topped with shredded cheese and some may ask for some beans.

      Classic sauce. almost threw me for a loop when the recipe called for 1/2 cup mayo, 4 tbsp ketchup, as if 4 tbsp and 1/4 cup aren’t the same amount. Still a great sauce though!

      why is there so much bullshit filler content in this recipe? just say its 4 equal parts ketchup, mustard, mayo, and relish. instead I had to look at several pictures of a wrinkled hand holding a hotdog and scroll through a ton of terrible non sequitur

        First of all there is a “jump to” at the top of 99% of blog posts. Second of all the ingredients are NOT equal parts Carlos. You are just having a bad day and need to vent else where.
