Recipe Introduction

With ketchup, mustard, onions, or relish, no one would argue that hot dogs are truly delish! Hot dogs are a timeless American tradition and are favorite food to eat at baseball games and cookouts. Other common names for hot dogs are frankfurters, franks, wieners, and dogs. They are also often the subject of food-eating competitions on New York's Coney Island and elsewhere across the globe. Did you know that the world’s largest hot dog was 1,996 feet long? It was created by Sara Lee Corporation in honor of the 1996 Olympics. The National Hot Dog & Sausage Council estimates Americans consume 20 billion hot dogs a year. What's a few more to celebrate National Hot Dog Day? Punch Bowl
