hot dogs

Buns with wieners

Hot dogs are a quintessential American food consisting of a cooked sausage, typically beef or pork, served in a sliced soft bun and often topped with mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, or other condiments.

The term applies both to the sausage itself and to the assembled sandwich.

Hot dogs are strongly associated with baseball games, cookouts, and street vendors.

As a verb, to hot dog means to show off or perform flashy stunts, especially in sports like skiing or surfing: He was hot dogging on the slopes and nearly wiped out.
