Birth of the hot dog at the Polo Grounds era tale
Historians confirm the hot dog originated in the 1890s at New Yorks Polo Grounds as Harry M Stevens, inspired by a cold day, bought sausages and rolls, boiled them, and yelled red hot to sell them. The vendors marketed the item rapidly, launching a lasting concession staple.
