In honor of today being Hot Dog Day, here's a bit more info about America's beloved baseball standby. Hot dogs were created in Frankfurt, Germany — hence the name frankfurter — in 1852. In 1904 American sausage importer Antione Feuchtwanger sold his curved dogs in a bun. Originally he gave customers gloves to hold and eat the dogs but the gloves disappeared quickly, so he worked with a baker to develop a bread bun to hold the hot dogs.

Simply put, a hot dog is a type of sausage containing meat, meat fat, grain filler (bread crumbs, flour, etc), a little egg white, and spices (garlic, salt, pepper, etc). Almost all packaged hot dogs are pre-cooked and most are stuffed into synthetic collagen casings.

In 1893 the sausages became popular at baseball parks. Today, Americans consume over 16 billion dogs per year with each region and baseball stadium serving up a distinct style of dog.

I prefer mine with spicy mustard, how do you like your hot dogs??

    I'm a fan of corn dogs, actually Smiling But usually I like them with ketchup and mustard with a pickle.

    Oh, and if anyone lives in Chicago, do yourself a favor and stop by Hot Doug's (www.hotdougs.com). They re-open this Wednesday and they have the best hot dogs around--they even make different combos like chicken sausage and every week they have a "game of the week" special. Once it was rattlesnake. Smiling Oh and their fries are awesome too!

    I had a hot dog on Saturday! Depends. If I buy one, mayo and ketchup is enough. If I make one, then I put tomatoes, avocado, mayo and ketchup. YUM.

    I like hot dogs with everything: chili, onions, relish, sauerkraut, cheese, and the kitchen sink. If it's a good quality hot dog, I like them plain. I will sometimes splurge and buy Nathan's hot dogs instead of the cheap kind. They taste great and the dog likes it when I pour some of the hot dog water over his dry dog food.

    I like my dogs w/ mustard, onion, and coleslaw. Sometimes I'll put ketchup on it as well.
