Brought over by German immigrants in the mid-1800s, hot dogs began their path into the American zeitgeist in New York City hot dog carts, where they were a natural fit for the sandwich-loving harried New Yorker, who already preferred to eat on the go.
“They appear with the first German immigrants in the late 1840s,” Kraig said.
“Germans have sausage culture, so they eat sausage from butcher shops. They eat them at home. They eat them in the street at fairs and festivals, and at beer gardens, so when Germans got to America, they set up beer gardens right away.”
Classic street eats
Americans, he said, became enamored with the German idea of sausage eating on the street. “You have lots of evidence of sausage being sold by vendors, probably in the 1840s, but certainly by the 1860s. Wherever there are Germans, there are sausages sold in the streets.”
Hot dog historian Bruce Kraig says there’s lots of evidence of sausage being sold by vendors, probably in the 1840s, but certainly by the 1860s.

That plural is important, actually. Germany is not known for a single sausage, after all, but for its abundance of them, from the veal- and poultry-based weisswurst to the pork-based bratwurst to the jerky-like landjäger.
German sausages are so plentiful that it’s remarkable that Americans inherited only one in the common dietary canon.
In 1867, an entrepreneurial baker from Brooklyn by the name of Charles Feltman began selling hot dogs from a converted pie cart on Coney Island. “Coney Island started becoming a popular place for hot dogs.” #fooduniversallanguage #meat #beef #meatlife #food #youtubeshorts #pork #steak #agenda
