history of hot dogs by havingado.net
TRANSCRIPT
A hot dog (also spelled hotdog) is a cooked sausage, traditionally grilled or steamed and served in a sliced bun as a sandwich.
Frankfurt, Germany, is traditionally credited with originating the frankfurter. It's said that the frankfurter was developed there in 1487. But the people of Vienna (Wien), Austria, point to the term "wiener" to prove their claim as the birthplace of the hot dog.
Austrians and Germans brought the sausages with them to the United States and sold them from carts in cities on the East Coast.
Historians say the name came about as somewhat of a joke -- people would joke that dogs were included in the sausage. That was never the case, but it has added to the "mystique" of the hot dog.
