#NationalHotDogDay falls on the third Wednesday of July, so yep, today's the day to celebrate this iconic summer food!

While hot dogs can be enjoyed any time of year, National Hot Dog Day is a chance to truly appreciate them. Whether you prefer yours classic with ketchup and mustard or piled high with all the fixings, there's a hot dog out there for everyone. They're perfect for backyard barbecues, baseball games, or a casual lunch on the go.

The exact origins of National Hot Dog Day are unknown, but it's likely linked to the National Hot Dog Lunch, an annual event hosted by the North American Meat Institute on Capitol Hill. This event happens around the same time each year and is thought to have inspired the creation of the unofficial holiday.

So fire up the grill, grab your favorite toppings, and celebrate National Hot Dog Day! It's a delicious way to honor a true American tradition.
