Dear MEL Topic Readers,

The truth about the US’s most iconic food

The hot dog/hotdog is a grilled or steamed wiener or frankfurter sausage sandwiched by a sliced bun. Hotdogs are one of the most popular American foods and often eaten in stadiums, barbecue parties, amusement parks, cafeterias, and also on the street.

This iconic American sandwich was invented by a German immigrant Feltman back in 1867 in Coney Island, New York. He came up with an idea to sandwich his frankfurters with a bun so that beachgoers could eat his sausages at the beach more easily. His business expanded from a hotdog stand to restaurants and an amusement park, and at its peak, Feltman’s businesses sold 40,000 hotdogs a day.

Half a century later, a former employee of Feltman, Nathan started its business on the same island and sold his frankfurters at half the price. A century later, his hotdogs are sold over 55,000 supermarkets and restaurants in more than 10 countries. You may recall Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest that takes place on July 4 each year, nearly a 50-year-old event.

Whether you like hotdogs or not, here is an article about how a simple recipe could become a nation’s iconic food. How do you usually eat your hotdog, with ketchup, mustard, and/or onion?

Enjoy reading the article and learn about entrepreneurship in hotdog business.
