National Hot Dog Day

  • Northern Pharmacy & Medical Equipment 6701 Harford Road Baltimore, MD, 21234 United States (map)

Did you know that hot dogs have a fascinating history? Their name dates back to the 19th century when German immigrants brought their own culinary traditions to the US, including the dachshund sausage. One German immigrant, Charles Feltman, sold over 3,600 hot dogs in a bun at his Coney Island stand in 1870.

Today, we celebrate National Hot Dog Day as a nod to National Hot Dog Month in July. It's the perfect time to indulge in this fan favorite, which became a household name thanks to an amusement park owner who paired them with baseball games in the late 19th century.

How you choose to celebrate is up to you - top your hot dog with all your favorite fixings or attend a Weiner dog race festival. There's no better way to beat the summer heat than with a delicious hot dog. So don't hesitate to indulge - we strongly encourage it!
