History of hotdog and hamburgers?

-Would you like to buy a verb? That's not a question.Frankfurters come from Frankfurt Germany. Wieners come from Vienna Austria. The recipes are very similar, with the exception being that frankfurters are mostly beef, whereas wieners are mostly pork. In the US, the two words are used interchangeably by most people, except for sausage-makers. They havde been popular sausages in their native lands for hundreds of years, and the recipes were brought to the US by immigrants in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were fairly popular street foods in cities with large German immigrant communities, but they did not really take off in popularity until the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis Missouri, a city with a huge German immigrant population. A frankfurter vendor ran out of dishes and forks for people to eat his sausages with, so he asked a vendor of buns to sell him a quantity of buns that the people could hold their sausages with, and the rest is history. The hot dog was born!

The birth of the hamburger as we know it was a bit less dramatic and more gradual, and also more controversial, as there are several places that claim to have invented the hamburger sandwich in the early 1900s. The best claim goes to a lunch counter in New Haven Connecticut, called Louis's Lunch. A customer came in one day in a big hurry, asking for a hot sandwich, but not wanting to wait long. The owner took some ground beef, which at the time was commonly called "Hamburg-style" meat (after Hamburg Germany), and quickly grilled it, and placed it on two slices of toast with lettuce and tomato, and called it a "Hamburger sandwich". And the rest is history!
Both German. Hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany. Hotdogs or Frankfurters, came from Frankfurt, Germany. Funny how they're both named after the City theyre from.
What about it?...
