Yeah, and I actually like Tabasco and Mustard mixed to dip mine in.

I should mention that I don't think I've had a corndog in maybe 15 years.

I think I've had a corn dog once since I joined the Army. That was over 12 years ago. But I like them w/ mustard

They're like quarter pounder with cheese. I like them, just don't eat them.

The best corn dogs are 1/4 lb all beef knockwurst hand dipped in peppery savory batter, fried to a perfect golden brown in peanut oil, and served with mustard. A food trailer (the kind you see at fairs and carnivals) parked on a gravel lot in Lavonia served these through the 80s into the 90s. I was a faithful customer each time I made the pilgrimage to fish Lake Hartwell and the Tugaloo and Seneca rivers.

Newly arrived German immigrants in Texas, who were sausage-makers finding resistance to the sausages they used to make, have been credited with introducing the corn dog to the United States, though the serving stick came later. A US patent filed in 1927, granted in 1929, for a Combined Dipping, Cooking, and Article Holding Apparatus, describes corn dogs, among other fried food impaled on a stick; it reads in part: Krusty Korn Dog" baker machine appeared in the 1926 Albert Pick-Barth wholesale catalog of hotel and restaurant supplies. The 'korn dogs' were baked in a corn batter and resembled ears of corn when cooked.

A number of current corn dog vendors claim responsibility for the invention and/or popularization of the corn dog. Carl and Neil Fletcher lay such a claim, having introduced their "Corny Dogs" at the State Fair of Texas sometime between 1938 and 1942. The Pronto Pup vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941. Cozy Dog Drive-in, in Springfield, Illinois, claims to have been the first to serve corn dogs on sticks, on June 16, 1946. Also in 1946, Dave Barham opened the first location of Hot Dog on a Stick at Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, California.

Sonic used to serve a breakfast "corndog" that was a link sausage blanketed in fried pancake batter. I tried one years ago and it was actually tasty with a nice sweet/savory ratio. I've seen something similar in the frozen breakfast area at the grocery store but the amount of premeditation it requires to buy something like that and then take it home and prepare it gives me enough time to think better of my food choices, as opposed to an impulse selection at a drive-up fast food place.

Reminds me of sausage pinwheels. My mom used to make those often back in the day when dad and his dad bought and killed a hog and made sausage. Didn't realize how good I had it back then.

Anyway, I used to make them on Sunday mornings for the staff. Been a minute, but I just might make some this weekend.

1. Peanut Butter and Mayonnaise sammiches are the best
2. Mac & cheese is only good when you add mustard and hot sauce
3. Styx was better before Dennis DeYoung
