Here Are The Most Popular Hot Dog Styles In America, State By State
In a few short days, hot dogs will be flying off grills as Americans across the country celebrate the Fourth of July. The hot dog has long been a backyard BBQ favorite, but you'd be surprised at the number of different types there are and in what states they reign supreme.
Just in time for the holiday, Google Trends has created an intriguing map of the most popular hot dog types using Americans' unique searches. And if you thought mustard vs. ketchup was the biggest frankfurter-fueled debate, you've got another thing coming.
The map is quite a shocker. Although standard options like beef hot dogs and turkey hot dogs are popular in a number of states, there are several hot dog faves we would have never expected.
Among the unexpected favorites is the Korean hot dog, a popular street food that's similar to a corn dog. The sweet and savory hot dog is at the top of the list in Texas, Louisiana, Nevada, Kansas, and a handful of other states.
It's likely no surprise that the Coney Island hot dog was the most searched hot dog in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, but we're a bit taken aback that Floridians are also big fans of this hot dog type.
New York's top dog? The white hot dog, which is popular in Rochester, among other parts of Western New York.
Despite hailing from the The Windy City, the Chicago style hot dog is popular across the country. Loaded with an assortment of toppings like mustard, tomato slices, and pickle spears, this style is also favored in Oregon, Montana, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois.
And with reindeer hot dogs serving as the most searched hot dog type in Alaska, we now know what state we'll be passing on for a Fourth of July vacation. Sorry, folks.
