History of the Hot Dog
The hot dog can be traced back to as early as 700 BCE! Of course, it wasn’t considered a hot dog back then. Sausage is the predecessor of what we consider hot dogs today. Over time, the sausage made its way to Europe and eventually Germany. There, it became a modern staple. So, how did it make its way to the United States?
The first hot dog stand was opened on Coney Island by a German immigrant named Charles Feltman around 1870. Later, in 1880, a sausage vendor ran out of gloves and began serving his hot sausages in white buns instead. Thus, a tradition was born. By the 20th century, the hot dog as we know it today became a favorite treat by many.
