July 2017: National Hot Dog Month. We can thank Nathan Handwerker, a Jewish immigrant from Poland, for popularizing the hot dog in America. In 1915, Handwerker worked at a hot dog stand on Coney Island, where he made $11 a week slicing buns. He lived entirely on hot dogs and slept on the kitchen floor for a year until he saved $300, enough to start a competing stand. By charging less than his former boss, customers flocked to him, his competitor went out of business, and Nathan’s Famous was born.

7 billion: The number of hot dogs typically consumed by Americans during peak hot dog season, meaning from Memorial Day to Labor Day. That’s 818 hot dogs consumed every second. On Independence Day alone, Americans will enjoy 150 million hot dogs, enough to stretch from DC to LA more than five times.

Mustard: The most popular hot dog topping. According to one 2014 survey, 71% of Americans like to garnish their hot dogs with mustard, while 52% of respondents use ketchup.

Sandwich: A hot dog is not a sandwich. While it is wrapped in bread and smothered with condiments, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council has stated that calling a hot dog a sandwich is like “calling the Dalai Lama ‘just a guy.’” The Council came to its decision after noting the hot dog's impact on American history, as well as the “open” nature of the bun.
