Savor The Flavor Of National Hot Dog Month

 We all love a good hot dog, and July is the perfect time to celebrate the American classic. July is National Hot Dog Month. Why not celebrate the festivities with a custom patch to show your passion? Get your grill ready, grab a dog and your favorite toppings, and let’s discuss how to observe the month in style.

National Hot Dog Month started in 1956. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce first named the month. Since then, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council has promoted the summer celebration all month. July also includes National Hot Dog Day on the 20th and National Chili Dog Day on the 28th. No matter what kind of dog you like, there is a day just for you. I guess you could call it the dog days of summer.

National Hot Dog Day

National Hot Dog Day was established in 1991, occurring every year on a Wednesday in July. It initially coincided with a hot dog lunch on Capitol Hill. National Chili Dog Day takes place on the last Thursday in July, where hot dog fans across the country top their dogs with their favorite chili. And, we can’t forget about the annual hot dog eating competition that takes place on July 4th in Coney Island, New York. Each year competitors from across the globe battle to see who can scarf down the most hot dogs in ten minutes. The world record is held by Joey "Jaws" Chestnut, who ate 76 hot dogs during the 2021 contest.
