Hot Dog

United States

Hot dogs trace back to German immigrant sausage traditions in 19th-century America, and became forever linked with baseball games and American summer cookouts.

A grilled sausage served in a soft bun with classic toppings like mustard, ketchup and relish — an enduring symbol of American ballpark and backyard cooking.
