History & Culinary Lore
The Evolution of Hot Dogs & Sausages
The hot dog is an American classic, but its origins trace back to Europe, specifically Germany and Austria, where sausages like Bratwurst and Frankfurters were already beloved street foods. When German immigrants brought sausages to the U.S., the American hot dog culture exploded, especially in Chicago and New York, where iconic regional variations developed.
This feast pays tribute to those origins by including both classic American hot dogs and international gourmet sausages.
