Is coined as serving the first frankfurter in a bun.
Many hot dog historians chafe at the suggestion that today's hot dog on a bun was introduced during the St. Louis "Louisiana Purchase Exposition" in 1904 by Bavarian concessionaire, Anton Feuchtwanger. As the story goes, he loaned white gloves to his patrons to hold his piping hot sausages. Because most of the gloves were not returned, the supply began running low. He reportedly asked his brother-in-law, a baker, for help. The baker improvised long soft rolls that fit the meat - thus inventing the hot dog bun.
A Bavarian immigrant named Feuchtwanger allegedly pioneered the practice in the American midwest; there are several versions of the story with varying details. According to one account, Antonoine Feuchtwanger's wife proposed the use of a bun in 1880: Feuchtwanger sold hot dogs on the streets of St. Louis, Missouri, United States, and provided gloves to his customers so that they could handle the sausages without burning their hands. Losing money when customers did not return the gloves, Feuchtwanger's wife suggested serving the food in a roll instead. In another version, Anton Ludwig Feuchtwanger served sausages in rolls at the World's Fair–either the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago or the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St Louis, –again allegedly because the white gloves provided to customers to protect their hands were being kept as souvenirs.
His wife suggested that he put the sausages in a split bun instead. He reportedly asked his brother-in-law, a baker, for help. The baker improvised long soft rolls that fit the meat, thus inventing the hot dog bun. When he did that, the Hot Dog was born. He called them red hots. Anton Feuchtwanger has also laid claim to the idea, offering the snack at the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
Anton was married and had a brother who was a Baker. The house where he invented the Hog Dog on a Bun, the Jean Baptiste Roy House, was at 2nd and Plum Streets in St. Louis. The St. Louis Arch, or Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, now stands at this place. In about 1946 or 1947, there was a Historical Marker or Plaque dedicated to Anton by the St. Louis Jr. Chamber of Commerce, the Young Men's Division.
I am told that Anton was my great great grandfather, my mother was a feuchtwanger. My family has quite a bit of knowledge about anton if you need it.
