Hot Dog Buns
The concept of the hot dog originated from European sausages, particularly the Frankfurter Würstchen from Germany and the Wiener Würstchen from Austria. These sausages were brought to America by German immigrants in the 19th century. The first hot dogs were likely sold by German immigrants from carts in New York City in the 1860s. They were called “dachshund sausages” or “frankfurters” and were sold without buns. Another claim to the invention comes from Anton Feuchtwanger, a German immigrant in St. Louis. In the early 1900s, Feuchtwanger was selling hot sausages at a fair and provided white gloves to protect customers’ hands. When customers did not return the gloves, his wife suggested using a split bread roll instead, leading to the creation of the hot dog bun.
