Hottos

Hottos is a term that refers to a type of hot dog that is typically larger and thicker than traditional hot dogs. The term "hottos" is a colloquialism and does not have a universally accepted definition. Some sources suggest that the term originated in the United States, particularly in the Midwest, where larger hot dogs were popular. Hottos are often served on a bun and can be topped with various condiments, such as ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions. They are commonly found at barbecues, picnics, and other outdoor events. The size and thickness of hottos can vary, but they are generally larger than standard hot dogs, which are typically about 4 inches long. Hottos are often associated with casual dining and are a popular choice for those who enjoy a hearty, filling meal. Despite their popularity, hottos are not a recognized food category and can be considered a regional variation of the hot dog.
