American Hot Dog is a classic staple of outdoor cookouts and baseball games. This delicious dish features a savory sausage, typically made from beef, pork, or turkey, nestled in a soft, fresh bun. Originating from German immigrants in the 19th century, the hot dog has evolved into an iconic symbol of American cuisine. While it’s a convenient and tasty option, it's important to enjoy it in moderation, as it can be high in sodium and preservatives. Top it with mustard, ketchup, or relish for added flavor, and it becomes a beloved treat that brings people together!
