Hot dogs became an American staple after immigrants from Germany and other European countries began selling them in New York City and Chicago in the late 1800s. Americans consume roughly 20 billion hot dogs per year, and consumption is expected to rise. Regional variations include differences in sausage type, toppings, and buns, producing styles such as the Chicago dog, New York dog, Seattle cream-cheese dogs, and Sonoran-style in Arizona. Each state features beloved hot dog joints showcasing local riffs or classic regional flavors. Alabama’s Chris' Famous Hotdogs, founded in 1917, is known for its chili-covered signature dog and secret sauce recipe.
It has been a beloved fixture across the United States since immigrants from Germany and other European countries started selling them in the New York City and Chicago areas. It began in the late 1800s, and the glizzy has since gone nationwide. Americans love hot dogs so much that they eat up to 20 billion of them a year ... and that number is projected to go up over the next decade.
Although you can find hot dogs in every corner of America, many states, cities, and regions have their own unique riffs and different styles. These variations can range from the type or brand of sausage used to toppings to even what kind of bun it goes on. The Chicago dog and New York dog are arguably among the best known, but the list is endless, from hot dogs with cream cheese in Seattle to Sonoran-style in Arizona.
