In Montreal the chien chaud are typically served with cole slaw, but
then again, so is breakfast.

St.Louis is where hot dogs became standard fare for baseball parks.

Frankfurt, the German origin of the sausage's rise in popularity, lays
claim to linguistically linking it to the dachshund.

D'oh! Where did you get that? The sausages of Wien are called "Wieners"
just as the ones in Frankfurt are called "Frankfurters". "Frankfurters" are
longer and narrower around than are the "Wieners". It seems that a bunch of
different cities have their names on sausage-types and they are all
different in shape and composition. "Wieners" and "Frankfurters" are NOT
the same sausage by any means.

And in Bangkok they're called "Bangers."

Oh, wait, that's....LONDON? (????)

I was advised to go to Germany for the best of the wurst.

One of my biggest dissapointments was back in (I think it was '95)
when me an' a buddy went down to Seattle to catch a Mariners/Rangers
AL pennant game. My Rangers got skunked in the first inning. That
really hurt; especially after all the horse-trading BS we had to
endure, to get into the KingDome in the first place. Just to watch
the game upside-down from the cheap seats, and see the Good Guys
get slaughtered.

Anyhow, I really wanted to try a King Dog (at the old KingDome).
I finally got my chance, but what a major disappointment that was.
The horrid thing was like it had been moldering on a basement
floor for a week. Y'know how ya get that penicillin flavour from
the first taste of moldy bread, and then have to expel it lest you
puke? And then you look at it and see green spots on it? As Gilda
Radner's Roseanna Roseannadanna would say: "I thought I was
gonna die!" No wonder they blew the place up.

With a little capital investment, I bet I could make hot-dog bau
a notable hook at Nat Bailey Stadium. And other kinds of bau,
for vegetarians and suchlike. I'm sure it would be much better
than that SkyDome pizza.

.... mmmmm ... hot-dog bau ...

I got it from my mother in law who is native of Vienna.

Also all wieners are not alike, as are all frankfurters are not
alike.

I went into a local SoCal German Deli and asked for Frankfurters a
couple of weeks ago (I was reading from the list my mother in law had
made). The Proprietor quickly corrected me and said "Aww, you
mean Wieners".

If you mean all frankfurter/wieners in the U.S. are not alike, I agree.
People in the U.S. make ones out of turkey and chicken and soy and who knows
what and they think the names are interchangeable. But, don't take anything
a U.S. Deli tells you about German sausages as being authentic. There is one
near me that sells 3 different types of "bratwurst" depending on what the
meat composition is. They will insist there is a "all beef bratwurst" when
no German deli would agree to that. I lived in Germany for seven years and
noted that Frankfurters, and Wieners and especially those little white
finger-like sausages made in Nurnberg were all different in meat composition
(usually the percentage of pork or veal) and size. The only thing they had
in common was that they were all tubular in shape. If your mother-in-law
hasn't been back to Wien in a while or hasn't been to Germany, she might be
surprised at all the sausages that have sprung up in recent years.
