Who has the Best Hot Dog? - The Diigo Meta page

  The hot dog is a complicated sausage. Not so much in flavor, but in origin.
  
  The Viennese claim it theirs, hence the now snicker-worthy nickname “wieners” – taken from Vienna’s name in German, Wien. Frankfurt’s not buying it, and instead traces the hot dog back to its own frankfurter wurst, supposedly invented in the 1480s. Still other accounts attribute the ancient sausage to Johann Georghehner, a 17th-century Bavarian butcher who deemed his creation the dachshund, or badger dog. All the squabbling is understandable: Who wouldn't want to claim the hot dog as their own?
