Corn dogs are a hotdog that is dipped in a cornmeal batter and then deep fried. They are most often served on a stick and are usually eaten dipped in mustard. You can find these at fairs, carnivals, food courts, food vendor stands, and even boxed in the frozen section of the grocery store. They are also often found in the mall food courts. Very popular and really yummy!

Corn Dogs are hot dogs that have been dipped in a cornmeal batter and deep-fried. The usually have a wooden stick at the bottom to help hold them while eating, though sometimes they have miniature versions which are served in restaurants as appetizers or in the grocery store as quick snacks.
They are often sold at state fairs, sometimes movie theaters or sporting events. You can purchase them in the grocery store in the freezer aisle, and they can be reheated in the microwave or conventional oven.
Quite tasty with mustard!

The corn dog was popularized in 1942 at the Texas State Fair when it was introduced by Carl and Neil Fletcher, although the Pronto Pup vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941.[1]
There is an article from the Port Arthur (Texas) News on newspaperarchive.com from 1940. The story is about the first corn dog (not on a stick) stand opening in Port Arthur. The article states that the "Debut of the corn dog came some time ago at the Louisiana state fair". The 1991 book 300 Years of Kitchen Collectibles by Linda Campbell Franklin states that a "Krusty Korn Dog baker" machine appeared in the 1929 Albert Pick Barth wholesale catalog of many makers’ hotel and restaurant supplies.
The first corn dog on a stick was the "cozy dog," and it is still served in the "Cozy Dog Drive In" restaurant in Springfield, Illinois. In 1946, Ed Waldmire Jr. used a batter supplied by his friend Don Strand and used cocktail forks as sticks. He called his new hot dog a "crusty cur". However, Ed's wife Virginia is credited with naming them "cozy dogs" because she felt naming a food product "crusty" didn't sound very appealing. To go with the Cozy Dog name, the Waldmires created a logo of two cartoon hot dogs embracing (being 'cozy'). Later he patented a device that clipped the sticks and allowed multiple dogs to be dipped in batter and then in hot oil. The sticks which used to be made exclusively of oak in the early days are now made almost exclusively of pine wood.
In 1946, Dave Barham opened the first location of Hot Dog on a Stick at Muscle Beach, Santa Monica, California. It is the only chain restaurant to offer corn dogs as its main menu item. The company is currently 100% employee-owned (the only fast-food restaurant of which this is true) and operates 115 stores in 17 states, mostly in shopping malls. Franchises have been issued for several other nations, but all stores in the USA are company-owned. The restaurant is known for the multi-colored smocks and hats (first introduced in the 1960s) worn by the employees, who are mostly young women.

Hot dogs wrap in a coating of corn bread. Usually comes on a stick. I like them with ketchup.

They are disgusting is what they are. It's a hot dog with cornbread fried around the outside, with a stick stuck in it! I do know you can find them in the frozen food section here. As far as selling them on the street, I have no clue regarding anywhere else, but not here. They also sell them at carnivals and fairs. YUCKY!!

Hot dogs in corn bread

Hot dogs dipped in cornmeal batter and deep-fried. Basically a heart attack on a stick.
You can buy them in some larger groceries that have a lot of frozen foods, or at fairs and carnivals. They are probably available at fast-food stands, pushcarts etc. Definitely junk food.

Yeah, definitely! Corn dogs are a hot dog wrapped in cornmeal breading and it has a stick shoved up it. Or they can be mini sized, too.
