As German immigrants began arriving in the United States in the 19th century, they brought their culinary traditions with them, including the recipes for these delectable sausages. In the late 1800s, German immigrant Charles Felman began selling hot sausages in rolls on Coney Island, New York. His innovative approach of serving sausages in a bun was a game-changer, making it easy for customers to enjoy this tasty treat on the go.
By the 20th century, hot dogs had cemented their status as an iconic American fast food, with popular vendors like Nathan's Famous on Coney Island and the introduction of the hot dog at baseball games. Today, the hot dog is more than just a food item; it’s a cultural icon and an industry worth billions.
