A 

hot dog[2][3] (also spelled hotdog[citation needed]) is a food consisting of


a grilled or steamed sausage served in the slit of a partially sliced bun.[4] It can also refer to the
sausage itself. The sausage used is a wiener (Vienna sausage) or a frankfurter (Frankfurter
Würstchen, also just called frank). The names of these sausages also commonly refer to their
assembled dish.[5] Hot dog preparation and condiments vary worldwide. Typical condiments include
mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, relish, and cheese sauce, and common garnishes include onions,
sauerkraut, jalapeños, chili, grated cheese, coleslaw, bacon, and olives. Hot dog variants include
the corn dog and pigs in a blanket. The hot dog's cultural traditions include the Nathan's Hot Dog
Eating Contest and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

These types of sausages were culturally imported from Germany and became popular in the United
States. It became a working-class street food in the U.S., sold at stands and carts. The hot dog
became closely associated with baseball and American culture. Although particularly connected
with New York City and its cuisine, the hot dog eventually became ubiquitous throughout the US
during the 20th century. Its preparation varies regionally in the country, emerging as an important
part of other regional cuisines, including Chicago street cuisine.[6][7][8]
