Ingredients
There is no fixed specification for hot dog meat, with pork and beef being the most popular. Less expensive hot dogs typically contain chicken, due to the low cost and availability of mechanically separated chicken, and some pork. Hot dogs are generally regarded as unhealthy insofar as most have high sodium, fat and nitrate content. Contents can also be questionable, with cheaper types of hot dogs having been known to contain snouts, ears and organ meat blended. In recent years, manufacturers have turned to completely turkey, chicken, or vegetarian meat substitutes as well as lowering the salt content; due to changing dietary preferences in the U.S.

In general, if a manufacturer produces two different hot-dog-type sausages, "wieners" tend to contain pork, and to be the blander of the two, while "franks" tend to be all-beef, and more strongly seasoned. This is particularly true of Oscar Mayer.

Hot Dog

Another name for a sandwich prepared with a sausage referred to as a frankfurter that is placed within a long split roll. The frankfurter, which is also known as a wiener, is traditionally a sausage made from beef, pork, turkey, chicken, or combinations of several of the meats that are encased in a thin membrane casing. There are four common types of hot dogs the first of which may be all beef that are sausages made with beef only with no fillers added to the meat. Domestic frankfurters are produced with fillers, such as soybean or dry milk fillers that cannot exceed 3.5% of the total weight of a meat product made from beef, pork or turkey as the main meat ingredient. Meat hot dogs are made as a sausage containing 40% of one type of meat and 60% of another meat. Kosher frankfurters are garlic seasoned sausages made from beef that has been processed using specific guidelines. As required by Jewish law, the guidelines are established for the slaughtering and cooking of the beef under the supervision of special rabbis.
To prepare, the frankfurter can be cooked with various methods including frying, grilling, broiling, and steaming. When wrapped in a split bun, the frankfurter sandwich is typically topped with any of a variety of condiments including mustard, ketchup, pickle relish, cheese, onions, tomatoes, sauerkraut, and chili however, ketchup is the most often used condiment when topping a frankfurter. Frankfurters topped with cheese is referred to as "cheese dogs" or with chili as a "chili dogs." When placed on a stick, dipped in a corn bread batter, and deep fried, the result is known as a "corn dog." The term "pigs in a blanket" may be used to refer to the hot dog wrapped in a bun. In addition to terminology, there are many different recipes that are developed for regional hot dogs tastes throughout the world. In the U.S. different recipes have been developed for hot dogs that make this sausage a distinct creation in Chicago, Cincinnati, Kansas City, New York, West Virginia, North Carolina, the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, and Detroit. Similarly, countries in Europe, Asia, and South America also have their regional versions of recipes for hot dogs that may include a type of topping, a flavored addition such as bacon wrapped around the hot dog, or different combinations of meat.
