The History of Hot Dogs and National Hot Dog Day 

The Origins of the Hot Dog 
The hot dog has a rich history that dates back to the late 1800s. German immigrants brought their love of sausages to America, and by the early 1900s, hot dogs became a staple at baseball games, street carts, and backyard barbecues. The term "hot dog" is said to have been coined at a New York Polo Grounds baseball game in 1901, when vendors shouted, "Get your red-hot dachshund sausages!"  

 How National Hot Dog Day Started  
National Hot Dog Day was established by the **National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC)** to celebrate America's love for this classic food. It typically falls on the **third Wednesday of July**, aligning with peak barbecue season. The day is marked by promotions, events, and even hot dog eating contests.
