saw so I'm gonna explain to you yeah what oh isn't that beautiful the way it's all yeah crunch together before digging in the hot dog expert reveals another secret behind the perfect Chicago style hot dog mustard which is German the relish see the green part yes which is Italian and Greek and the tomatoes are Greek and Italian and the hot peppers are from the American South it's the whole world yeah this hotdog actually stands for cosmopolitanism and a love of other nationalities who would have thought enjoy your meal yeah now when you ask me in the car what's your favorite hot dog now you know why yeah no no way you know in firework in the amount but good filthy good juicy greasy delicious and here's a question for our experts why is the hot dog called hot off ah it's a joke name and this joke is that if a German butcher appears in your neighborhood all the dogs disappear so they didn't because they didn't know what went into the grinding machine okay there are many many jokes in fact there's dozens of theories about the origin of the hot talk but the most likely one would have to be this one the story begins in Frankford a mine in 1477 a butcher invents the famous frankfurter sausage here since it's shaped like a dachshund the people of Frankfurt simply began calling them dachshund sausages as thousands of Germans emigrated to the USA in the 19th century they also brought the Ducks and sausage with them in 1871 the German butcher Charles Feltman opened a sausage stand on Coney Island they was the first to sell the frankfurter sausage with sauerkraut and mustard in a bun Americans enjoy the dish and translate the German dachshund sausage because duck scent means the same in English for the sake of simplicity it was later transformed into hot dog Chicago is not only famous for its classic hot dogs but also for a particularly crazy variety according to expert Bruce our next stop is the merging point for fast food fans who love to experiment [Music] because they come in all kinds of flavors don't different meats and different toppings also some creepy dogs some creepy ones chicago's doghouse has been around for nine years hundreds of hot dogs are sold here each day in addition to the usual classics you can also get a rattlesnake rabbit dog yeah the Joker is it really no no it's real okay and there are a few places in Chicago that do it but these are actually wild boar actually rattlesnake okay real meat and rabbit before Timo dares to try one of those he first looks into a completely different kind of hotdog somewhat more harmonic owner Aaron also serves corn hotdogs with a cornmeal cover well this kind of a sausage is pro/con this is an all-beef Vienna beef sausage oh okay yeah so this is the this is the corner batter yes so we're going here though kind of yeah get it covered up okay but the batter yeah just like that the whole sauce is submerged pull it out gentle just like that one of the ingredients flour three of flour some cheese no cheese no cheese me and the cornmeal yeah honey the batter ends up in the deep fryer and apart from the sausage this has relatively few similarities with a hot dog so I know my way around the greasy food you put it in let it fry otherwise it will be floating in the oil and we don't want that and then we can let this baby go okay coming up may be fun and nothing the corndog baits in hot oil for almost three minutes the recipe originally came from the southern US but it's now easy to find everywhere but does it stand a chance against the classic tasty beautiful red beef sausage the sweet corn breading the flavor of the honey standing out quite well but in reality we're here for something else because a very special type of sausage makes it onto Aaron's grill the craziest hot dog kind the sausage made of rattlesnake and rabbit topped with cheddar cheese barbecue sauce and a topping of pepperoni and carrots this unusual sausage is home eight why I first feed them in a cage rabbit and then when the the rattlesnake eats the rabbit it's inside its stomach then I make it into a sausage so that's that's how we have rattlesnake and rabbit sausage jokes aside the sausage actually consists of a mixture of rabid and snake meat afterwards Aaron wants us to try another one of his creations the German hotdogs with they're not quite German Swiss cheese steamed onions and well what else would he put on a German hot dog sauerkraut wow that is beautiful but will this supposedly German hot dog convinced Timo and Bruce time for a little field research our dog duo is brave enough to start with the rattlesnake rabid dog [Music] Wow mmm sausages are spicy and good at topping it's very very spicy and really good it goes perfectly this the test the wild one yeah it's not it's not not too hot in the toilets it's soft white I think it's time for the German arc are you ready the hot dog expert already knows the German doc but it is a first for the German team oh when the name makes sense it's a typical German flavor in it because of the crowd our trip to the mecca of hot dogs Chicago is proof that hot dogs are more than just a sausage in a bun there's a science behind the right preparation and if you do it right a culinary delight of weights to be unlocked [Music]
