Appropriately enough, this day falls in National Hot Dog Month. Hot dogs are classed as sausage sandwiches in which the grilled or steamed sausage is served in an open slit of a partially sliced open bun, though the name also refers to the sausage itself. Wiener - Vienna sausages - and frankfurters are the sausages most commonly used in a hot dog, though pretty much any sausage can be used, even if the end result is, by some definitions, not actually a hot dog. A hot dog is rarely served plain; it will normally be topped with sauces as well as a wide range of potential ingredients, with fried onions perhaps the most common.
Hot dogs originated in Germany and were imported to the United States by Germans moving there. They started as working class food sold on the street and gradually became associated with baseball and American culture.
