Hot dog

A hot dog is the term for either a type of sausage or, alternatively, a sandwich with the bun and sausage. Hot Dogs are also called frankfurters, frankfurts, or franks, after the city of Frankfurt, Germany, a wiener, after the city of Vienna, Austria, or sarcastically as tube steaks, illustrating that hot dogs are typically among the cheapest meat products one can obtain.

The invention of the hot dog, like the hamburger and ice cream cone, is often attributed to the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri.

The hot dog's association with baseball also predates the 1904 Exposition. St. Louis Browns owner Chris von der Ahe sold them at his ballpark in the 1880s.
