Hot dogs are an American institution with German origins, but they are also a delectable treat around the world. These tube steaks can have a variety of toppings and flavors both in the United States and abroad.

Danish Hot Dog

The first hot dog stand in Denmark opened 100 years ago, in 1921 when vendor Charles Svendsen Stevns launched a number of sites around Copenhagen. The iconic Danish dog is sold at stalls and carts all throughout the nation. They are topped with raw and fried onions, pickles that have been thinly sliced, and sauces made with ketchup, mustard, and remoulade.

Sonoran Hot Dog

This hot dog is from Hermosillo, the state capital of Sonora in northwest Mexico. It is well-liked in Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona. The Sonoran is first fried, wrapped in bacon, then placed inside a bolillo bun (a savory Mexican bread). Pinto beans, onions, and tomatoes are frequently added, along with jalapenos, mayo, and mustard. Nogales Hot Dogs in Phoenix lets customers add extra toppings like mushrooms, salsa, and cilantro.

Salchipapa Hot Dog

Look no further than the name of the phenomenon to learn what Salchipapa (or Salchipapas) is all about. The Spanish word for sausage is salchi, while the Andean highlands' native potatoes are known as papas. A Salchipapa, which is popular in Peru, Ecuador, and other Latin American nations, is served without a bun and instead is served on a plate with French fries and pan-fried diced meat. Ketchup, mayo, aji chili sauce, mustard, and other condiments are used to flavor it. Cheese and additional toppings are optional.
