Time to check out information on National Hot Dog Day!

‘National Hot Dog Day in July celebrates a summertime staple on a bun. Enjoy one piping hot and add some relish and mustard to go! One thing we want to know – is it a sandwich or not? 

Celebrated every year during National Hot Dog Month, this day pays homage to the frankfurter, the footlong or wienie, wiener, wienerwurst or even red hot. They taste just as great no matter what we call it.

Over 25 million hot dogs are sold at baseball stadiums each year.

On May 31, 2012, a world record was set for the most expensive hot dog. The “California Capitol City Dawg” sold for $145.49 at Capitol Dawg in Sacramento, California. The “California Capitol City Dawg” features:

• A grilled 18″ all-beef, in natural casing frank from Chicago

• Served on a fresh-baked herb and oil focaccia roll spread with white truffle butter, then grilled

• Topped with whole grain mustard from France, garlic and herb mayonnaise
