Corn Dogs: A Culinary History and Cultural Icon

I explore the history and evolution of the corn dog, tracing its origins to the United States in the early 20th century. I highlight the contributions of figures like the Fletchers and George Boyington, while noting related precursors like pigs in blankets. The corn dog's rise to popularity at fairs and its cultural significance as an American snack is examined. I touch upon global adaptations of the corn dog, citing examples like South Korea's "hot dog" and Canada's "Pogos". I conclude by emphasizing the corn dog's enduring appeal and adaptability, despite other similar and arguably blasphemous snacks that have been created.
