At the same time, notes Riley, the sausage that would become known as the hot dog came to U.S. shores by way of the Germans and Austrians, which is why we call them âfrankfurtersâ like Frankfurt, Germany, or âwieners,â named after Vienna, Austria.
Why is a frankfurter in a bun called a hot dog? I have been able to find two explanations, one true and one blatantly false, and as is so often is the case the false one is by far the more interesting.ale University students used to refer to wagons selling hot frankfurters in buns as dog wagons and called the sausages 'dogs', probably as a result of conjecture as to the exact nature of the meat used in them (one of the wagons at Yale was actually nicknamed The Kennel Club).
