{{Short description|Ways to serve the "hot dog" style of sausage from around the world}} {{pp-semi-indef|small=yes}} [[File:Njbrkfast.jpg|thumb|A New Jersey breakfast dog with cheese]] [[File:Chicago Dog at Wrigley.jpg|thumb|Chicago style hot dog sold at Wrigley Field]] Different areas of the world have local variations on the hot dog, in the type of meat used, the condiments added, and its means of preparation.

A hot dog is a type of cooked sausage, traditionally grilled or steamed and served in a partially sliced bun. This type of sausage was culturally imported from Germany and popularized in the United States in the 19th and 20th century, where it became a working-class street food sold at hot dog stands and carts.<ref name="Britannica">{{cite web |title=Hot dog {{!}} Origins, Ingredients, & Influence |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/hot-dog |website=Encyclopædia Britannica |date=2024-07-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240809170931/https://www.britannica.com/topic/hot-dog |archive-date=2024-08-09 |url-status=live |access-date=August 9, 2024 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Hot Dog History |url=https://www.hot-dog.org/culture/hot-dog-history |website=National Hot Dog and Sausage Council |access-date=August 9, 2024 |archive-date=January 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125183247/https://www.hot-dog.org/culture/hot-dog-history |url-status=live }}</ref> It is also sold at fast-food restaurants and convenience stores, as well as being available for home preparation after being purchased at grocery stores.

===Hawaii=== Hawaiian-style hot dogs are made with smoky polish sausage served on a toasted Hawaiian sweet bun that has a hole punched out of the middle.

The most common brands of spicy hot dogs used are Sabrett's or Best's, both of which are NJ companies. A traditional ''Italian Hot Dog'' is made by cutting a round "pizza bread" in half (for a double) or into quarters (for a single), cutting a pocket into it and spreading the inside with mustard. A deep-fried dog (or two if it is a double) is put in the pocket, topped with fried (or sautéed) onions and peppers, and then topped off with crisp-fried potato chunks. A variation of this, often found at express takeout restaurants (such as "chicken shacks," Chinese restaurants, pizzerias, etc., and can also be requested at some lunch trucks and luncheonettes across the state) substitutes French fries for the traditional potato round, and in some spots a Portuguese or sub roll replaces the traditional round bread used.<ref name=nyt1>{{cite news|last=Levine|first=Ed|title=It's All in How the Dog Is Served|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/25/dining/25dogs.html|access-date=2011-01-21|newspaper=New York Times|date=May 25, 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830110301/http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/25/dining/25dogs.html|archive-date=August 30, 2011|url-status=live}}</ref>

===South Korea=== A popular South Korean form of the hot dog, sold at street stalls, fairs, and some fast-food restaurants, involves the placing of the sausage on a stick, followed by a batter of some kind, and sometimes including french fries in the batter. They more resemble a corn dog than a hot dog. Ketchup is a common condiment, and occasionally mustard. Hot dogs in a bun or wrapped in bread are also widely available, or on a stick without a bun.<ref name="seriouseats1">{{cite web |author=Robyn Lee |url=http://www.seriouseats.com/2009/05/snapshots-from-south-korea-fried-things-on-sticks.html |title=Snapshots from South Korea: Fried Things on Sticks |publisher=Serious Eats |date=2009-05-26 |access-date=2014-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140115070359/http://www.seriouseats.com/2009/05/snapshots-from-south-korea-fried-things-on-sticks.html |archive-date=2014-01-15 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Czech Republic=== thumb|upright|Czech-style hot dog (''párek v rohlíku'')

Hot dogs in the Czech Republic are known as ''párek v rohlíku'', which can be literally translated as "sausage in roll", with the label "hot dog" also applied in marketing to both locals and tourists. Czech-style hot dogs are differentiated by the fact that rather than slicing the bun in half and placing the sausage into the resultant cleavage, the top of the bun is cut off, with a hole punched into the softer inside of the bun where condiments and then the sausage is placed, similar to the Ketwurst. Specially designed appliances (stroj na párek v rohlíku,<ref>{{cite web |author=Elektro OK |url=http://www.elektrook.cz/stroj-na-parek-v-rohlik |title=Stroj na párek v rohlíku |publisher=Elektrook.cz |date=2013-03-19 |access-date=2014-01-27 |trans-title=Hotdog machine |language=cs |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140112230005/http://www.elektrook.cz/stroj-na-parek-v-rohlik |archive-date=2014-01-12 |url-status=live }}</ref> literally appliance for sausage in bun) that consist of a hot-water cooker for the sausages and heated metal spikes to punch the holes and pre-warm the buns also exist to assist vendors with preparation of this dish.{{Citation needed|date=August 2021}}

=== Finland === {{Main|Kuuma koira}}

Kuuma koira is regional fast food served in the Pirkanmaa area. The name means a hot dog in Finnish, but it is a different dish. It is prepared by serving a steamed sausage in a sugar-coated doughnut.

=== Germany ===

Even though the type of sausage that led to the creation of the modern hot dog in the United States is undeniably German, German hot dog culture is mainly influenced by Scandinavian—mostly Danish—elements. This does not affect the type of sausage (unlike the Danish ''rød pølse'', German hot dogs usually have frankfurt- or wiener-style sausages) but the condiments—ketchup, mustard or Danish-style remoulade depending on individual preference as well as roasted onions and thinly sliced pickles—are usually marketed as a Danish influence. While sauerkraut is a common, distinctively German, topping in the US, it is not typical in Germany. Grilling the sausage, which is common in America, is largely unknown in Germany where it is steamed like its Scandinavian counterparts.

=== Iceland === thumb|upright|An Icelandic hot dog, served with fried and raw onions.

The ''Iceland Monitor'' writes that "locals, expatriates and holiday-makers alike must all be familiar with Iceland's national dish—hot-dogs with all the trimmings (‘pylsa með öllu’ in Icelandic). The hot-dog sausage is served in bread and liberally accompanied with fried onion, raw onion, mustard, ketchup and remoulade (a cold sauce made with mayonnaise and various condiments and herbs). This snack is traditionally washed down with copious amounts of Coca-Cola."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/culture_and_living/2015/03/26/hot_dog_inflation/|title=Hot-dog inflation!|access-date=2017-02-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170205095640/http://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/culture_and_living/2015/03/26/hot_dog_inflation/|archive-date=2017-02-05|url-status=live}}</ref>
