"A hot dog is an all-American classic. Like most American fare, hot dogs were brought to us from a different country. More specifically, we have Germans to thank for this one. They brought sausages to the U.S. back in the 1800s, where they were first sold from food carts in New York City and on Coney Island. Now in the 21st century, hot dogs are a fixture of national culture, served up at baseball games, celebrated through eating contests,"
"Everyone seems to have an opinion about Skyline's Cincinnati-style cinnamon-infused, beanless chili. But what about the hot dogs buried underneath all that chili and cheese on the menu? It felt like a crime, but I ordered a Coney from the restaurant, hold all the toppings, to see what the plain hot dog is all about. What I discovered is that it looks very tiny, shriveled, and sad without its garnishes."
Hot dogs originated from German sausages brought to the United States in the 1800s and were first sold from food carts in New York City and on Coney Island. Hot dogs now serve as staples at baseball games, eating contests, cookouts, and fast-food outlets nationwide. Ten hot dogs were sampled from various fast-food chains and popular vendors including Costco and Sheetz. Each dog was evaluated for meat type, flavor, bun integrity, and price. One plain Coney from Skyline Chili revealed a very small, shriveled frank that relied heavily on chili and cheese to provide size and flavor contrast.
