List of hot dogs

It has been suggested that this article be merged into Hot dog variations. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2024.

A hot dog is a type of cooked sausage, traditionally grilled or steamed and served in a partially sliced bun. This type of sausage was culturally imported from Germany and popularized in the United States, where it became a working-class street food sold at hot dog stands and carts.^[1][2] It is also sold at fast-food restaurants and convenience stores, as well as being available for home preparation after being purchased at grocery stores. The hot dog became closely associated with baseball and American culture.^[1]
