Hot Dog Bun - History

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 thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.
    Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
