[email protected] How Does a Hot Dog Speak?
The Collection [email protected] How does a Hot Dog Speak? Frankly!! The hot dog , or frankfurter, originated in Frankfurt, Germany (according to one story) more than 100 years ago. It supposedly was introduced into America during the 1870s or 80s. One story makes the claim that this meal in a bun first was sold on the Coney Island boardwalk by a German immigrant in 1871. Another food authority says that a Bavarian immigrant, Antoine Feuchtwanger, first sold hot franks in St. Louis during the 1880s. He also sold cotton gloves so his customers could eat the sausage-shaped meat without burning their fingers since he served them without buns. Frankfurters were popularized further by Harry S. Stevens, who ran a concession at the New York Polo grounds. He urged his vendors to walk through the stands on a cold day, calling "Red hots! Red hots!" as they sold their wares. Finally frankfurters were called "hot dogs" after an American cartoonist depicted "red hots" as long buns, each filled with a dachshund. Although the most popular means of serving hot dogs is steaming, frying, or grilling them, then placing in a bun topped with mustard, catsup, and relish, perhaps chopped onion or sauerkraut, there are many other ways to prepare this food. Whether you call them hotdogs, wieners, or frankfurters; kids love them! But even kids need a little variety with their wieners, so try these recipes for a change of pace. I suggest using good frankfurters that use quality ingredients. You can also substitute other types of bun sized sausages for the hotdogs in any of these recipes By Mary Emma Allen 1. -
Tasting America One Hotdog at a Time
Tasting America One Hotdog at a Time Alabama: Birmingham Hot Dog, Gus's Hot Dogs One of the oldest hot dog stands in a city that was once home to countless frank purveyors, Gus’s is the place to try the Birmingham hot dog developed by the city’s early Greek immigrants. Both the regular and the "special" dogs feature a half pork-half beef weenie charred on the 70- year-old grill and served in a steamed standard issue bun with yellow mustard, chopped white onion, sauerkraut and spice-scented special sauce that’s like a sweeter, tangier version of New York pushcart-style onions. The special, with the addition of ground beef, is city’s storied hot dog claim to fame, as owner Lee Pantazis sees it. "A small piece of history wedged in a bun covered in sauce," he says. Alaska: Reindeer Dog, International House of Hot Dogs Long before the wild game sausage trend took over gastropub menus across the United States, Anchorage residents where noshing on dogs showcasing one locally ubiquitous, otherwise rare ingredient: reindeer. Reindeer has been a summertime street cart specialty in the Last Frontier for more than two decades. But International House of Hot Dogs serves its McKinley Dog throughout the year - sleigh- pulling season included. It starts with a hearty and heavily spiced Polish-style reindeer sausage in a bun with a simple combination of sautéed onions and a sweet and smoky homemade chipotle sauce. Arizona: Sonoran Hot Dog, Aqui con el Nene Peddled by hundreds of restaurants and street cart-pushing hotdogueros throughout Tucson and Phoenix, Sonoran hot dogs are so common in Arizona, they might as well be called Grand Canyon wieners.
