An average American eats 60 hot dogs a year

In 1893, hot dogs became the standard cuisine for baseball games.

Controversial debate surrounds the creation of the hot dog. Who really created the first hot dog? Although the city of Frankfurt, Germany credits itself for the origin of the first frankfurter in 1852, some argue that Johann Georghehner, a butcher from Coburg, Germany created the first frankfurter in the 1600s.

FYI - hot dog relish is just mustard and relish mixed together.
tartar sauce is relish and mayo.
