History
The history of the hot dog bun is well disputed. Some people believe that it functions as a sandwich which was originally invented by the 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu in 1762. Some think that the hot dog bun came as a natural adaption to the hotdog which was invented by German immigrants in the 1800s. In the United States, the hot dog bun's long historical mark is thought by some historians to begin with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The Bavarian concessionaire, Anton Feuchtwange, was giving out gloves to hold sausages in the 1904 exposition to his customers. When the gloves he loaned out were not being returned, the man asked his brother who was a baker to invent a solution. Thus, the hot dog bun was born.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
