The hot dog[2][3] (also spelled hotdog) is a

grilled or steamed sausage sandwich where
the sausage is served in the slit of a partially
sliced bun.[4] It can also refer to the sausage
itself. The sausage used is the wiener (Vienna
sausage) or frankfurter (Frankfurter
Würstchen, also just called frank). The names
of these sausages also commonly refer to their
assembled dish.[5] Hot dog preparation and
condiments vary regionally in the United
States. Typical condiments include mustard,
ketchup, mayonnaise, relish, and cheese
sauce, and common garnishes include onions,
sauerkraut, jalapeños, chili, grated cheese,
coleslaw, bacon, and olives. Hot dog variants
include the corn dog and pigs in a blanket. The
hot dog's cultural traditions include the
Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and the
Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

These types of sausages and their sandwiches

were culturally imported from Germany and
became popular in the United States, where
the "hot dog" became a working-class street
food sold at stands and carts. The hot dog
became closely associated with baseball and
American culture. Although particularly
connected with New York City and its cuisine,
the hot dog eventually became ubiquitous
throughout the US during the 20th century,
and emerged as an important part of other
regional cuisines, including Chicago street
cuisine.[6][7][8]
