Do you know Hot dogs As Europeans came to the United States throughout the

late 19th century, sausage vending became a relatively inexpensive startup


business for upwardly mobile immigrants.
Sausage carts were a fixture of urban life. The Duluth News Tribune described
Chicago this way in September 1894: “More numerous than the lunch wagon is
the strolling salesman of ‘red hots.’ This individual clothed in ragged trousers,
a white coat and cook’s cap, and unlimited cheek, obstructs the night prowler at
every corner. He carries a tank in which are swimming and sizzling hundreds
of Frankforters or Wieners.”

And birth of the bun that


Charles Feltman developed a hand-sliced, elongated bun that set the precedent
for the modern hot dog bun.
When popularity surged — Michael Quinn, himself a Coney Island historian,
said that, in that first summer, the cart sold about 4,000 hot dogs — Feltman set
his sights higher, entering into a restaurant and hotel partnership and opening a
sprawling resort in Coney Island in 1873
“Eventually, it became billed as the largest restaurant in the world,” Michael
Quinn said.
Numerous historic sources, including the Coney Island History Project, have
acknowledged that, by the 1920s, Feltman’s Ocean Pavilion restaurant was
serving roughly five million customers per year, and selling somewhere around
40,000 hot dogs a day.
Suddenly, hot dogs were on the national stage, and Coney Island was became
the accessible epicenter of summer fun for anyone and everyone in and around
New York.
