  • shredded American cheese

Directions:

Boil, fry or grill hotdogs as you normally would and add toppings of choice.  The key here is to give the hotdog a subtle flavor of a variety of other types of foods.  Corny dogs is a good example of how you can take a hotdog and turn it into something unlike an ordinary hotdog.  Filling and nutritious.

Tib-bits of history:
 
Claims about the invention of the hot dog are difficult to assess because various stories assert the creation of the sausage, the placing of the sausage (or another kind of sausage) on bread or a bun as finger food, the popularization of the existing dish, or the application of the name "hot dog" to a sausage and bun combination.

The word frankfurter comes from Frankfurt, Germany where sausages in a bun originated, similar to hot dogs, but made of pork. Wieners, refers to Vienna, Austria, whose German name is "Wien", home to a sausage made of a mixture of pork and beef. In German speaking countries, except Austria, hot dog sausages are called Wiener or Wiener Würstchen (Würstchen means "little sausage"). In Swiss German, it is called Wienerli, while in Austria the terms Frankfurter or Frankfurter Würstel are used.
