How a rainy day gave birth to the corn dog
The corn dog’s story is pure Americana: a humble hot dog, dipped in batter and fried to golden perfection, with a history that winds from German immigrants in Texas to Route 66 diners and state fairs nationwide. It’s a food that thrives on simplicity — easy to hold, easy to eat, impossible to resist. Though its origins are murky, its place in summer tradition is clear. When you bite into one this weekend, you’re tasting a quirky, enduring piece of culinary history. Tracy Briggs with InForum has history and nostalgia, but you don’t have to got to Fargo into enjoy one. The ND State Fair starts tomorrow, corn dogs will be dipped and dropped on the regular. Pick one up from the Colossal Corn Dog Stand on the independent midway.
