So, I was wondering why Fletcher's calls 'em "corny dogs" and the whole rest of America calls 'em "corn dogs."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_dog

Fletcher's seems to have the best claim for first offering them for sale, as opposed to providing cooking products that might be able to make them. And, of course, the Fletchers called them "corny dogs."

There are interesting names for them in other countries: Pluto Pup, Dippy Dog, American Dog, Yankee, etc.

One of my biggest memories while raising my children was the time we were in a department store being waited on by a sales lady who was of color

We had our little 4 year old daughter with us who stood there listening to what was going on when the sales woman looked down at her and said hi

My daughter looked up at her and said "You're black" and I nearly fainted

The lady laughed hard and said "Yes I am dear and God loves us all"

That was a teaching moment in many ways

I love corny dogs but really only eat them at the state fair.  It's not something I come home and say, "Hey honey you know what I want for dinner tonight?  Corny dogs!"

I like hot dogs too but rarely eat them.

When the kids were younger it was something they'd eat with no complaint, so we ate them more often.

Now the 14yo girl will make her own dinner as often as not, and the 12yo boy loves sushi and Asian food above all else, so not many hot dogs consumed at my place anymore.

I remember as a kid Friday nights were "shopping" night so my parents did not cook

it was almost always hot dogs  and Hawaiian punch for dinner

Those were the days

hotdogs on a skewer over a campfire are the best dogs

Oh yeah, we ALWAYS have hot dogs for dinner one night, when we're camping. And then s'mores for dessert.

Depression dogs from Gene and Jude's in River Grove, IL.

Steamed bun, simmered snappy Vienna beef dog, mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers and hand-cut fries.

Simple, but amazing good. And DO NOT ask for ketchup. They will kill you.

I believe you.
When in line at a hot-dog vendor in Chicago, I witnessed the following exchange:

Patron: Oh, could I please have some ketchup packets?
Vendor: F**k your ketchup!
Patron: It's for my kid...
Vendor: F**k your kid!

That was pretty much where that ended. I personally prefer ketchup on my hot-dog, but Illinois evidently has views.

It's a Chicago thing.

There is McD's next door that charges $0.50 for one packet of ketchup. Not kidding.
