The hot dog[2][3] or dog (also spelled hotdog) is a grilled or steamed link-sausage sandwich where

the sausage is served in the slit of a partially sliced hot dog bun, a bun of size and shape to hold the
sausage.[4] It can also refer to the sausage (the wurst or wörst) of its composition itself. The sausage
used is the wiener (Vienna sausage) or frankfurter (also frank). The names of these sausages also
commonly refer to their assembled
sandwiches.[5] Typical condiments include mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, and relish, and
common garnishes include onions, sauerkraut, chili, cheese, coleslaw, and olives. Hot dog
variants include the corn dog and pigs in a blanket. The hot dog's cultural traditions include
the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
