A man in St. Louis who was a bartender and a baseball team owner brought hotdogs to one of the games and people loved it. The current shape of the hotdog was made in 1904. A man by the name of Anton Feuchtwanger was a hotdog seller. When he sold hotdogs he gave the costumers a white glove to hold the hotdog in while they were eating. They were to return the glove back to him when they were done. Most of the gloves weren?t returned so he lost more money buying the gloves instead of people buying hotdogs. Anton then went to his brother who was a baker and he came up with the hotdog bun. The name ?hotdog? was first coined in 1906 in New York City. Harry Stevens during the month of April was about to go out of business from selling ice cream from vending machines. He went out and bought all the dachshunds that was available and started selling them. At the same time a cartoonist by the name of Ted Dorgan was nearing his deadline for a comic. He heard the venders saying,? Get your red-hot dachshunds. Get them while they are hot.? This gave him the inspiration to draw a dachshund barking. He didn?t know how to spell dachshund so he called them hotdogs.

Also the hotdog is made in many different ways. First the meat trimmings of beef and/or pork are cut into small pieces and placed in a mixer. The choppers then blend the meat, spices, and other ingredients together into a batter. The batter is then stuffed into a casing.

After they are in the casings, they are cooked or smoked. When they are done cooking, the cellulose casing is peeled off and sprayed with ice-cold water. Hotdogs with cellulose casings are all the same size and weight, but natural casings are a little uneven in the weight and the size. Nowadays, hotdogs don?t contain a variety of cow or pig meats such as the heart or lungs. The process making and boxing a pack of hotdog takes less than an hour.
