Weiners. Foot-longs. Red-hots. No matter what you call 'em, they're all hot dogs- and the official food of summertime needs no introduction. But since July is National Hot Dog Month we thought we'd give you a little background on the tasty little meat pack that is rich in history and is about more than the lips, assholes and old shoes you thought.
Get Yer Hot Dogs Here
By Big Belly Brian Bailey
 We love hot dogs. After all, we are American. There is no other food product that represents the good old U.S. of A like a smoking hot wiener. But there are some anti-red, white and bluers out there who insist on vilifying this piece of gastronomic americana. "There's too much fat. Too much preservatives. Too many rat hairs." Boo hoo. Face it folks, hot dogs taste good, and they make you feel good. So stop paying attention to the naysayers and get out there and cook up a batch of those phallic fun foods. You'll be glad you did.
Hot dogs have history that is almost as cool as their name. In the ninth century B.C., the Greek uberpoet Homer wrote about hot dogs in his testosterone fueled masterpiece, The Odyssey. "As when a man besides a great fire has filled a sausage with fat and blood," he wrote, "and turns it this way and that and is very eager to get it quickly roasted." This guy could have written for The Belly. If nothing else, Homer proves that hot dogs and men have always been linked throughout history. However, it wasn't until the middle ages in Europe that the modern hot dog began to take shape.
