Corn Dogs are quintessentially American, having been popularized at state fairs and carnivals in the early 20th century. One popular story is that corn dogs, along with other deep-fried treats on a stick, gained major popularity at the Texas State Fair in the 1940s. However, the exact origin of the corn dog is disputed. Some credit German immigrants in Texas for the invention, as a twist on traditional German sausage, while others believe it was invented in Minnesota. Regardless of its origins, the corn dog has become a beloved snack across the United States, symbolizing simple, hearty amusement park fare.
