Perfect for eating on a stroll, the corn dog is a humble wiener on a stick wrapped in corn batter and dunked in the deep fryer until the corn coat turns crisp and golden. It’s an all-American dish, for sure, but its parentage is up for grabs. The Pacific ­International ­Livestock Exposition in ­Portland, Ore., was selling ­Pronto Pups as early as 1941, and you could get a Corny Dog at the State Fair of Texas in 1942. After World War II, Cozy Dog in Springfield, Ill., ­started serving its own corn dogs, based on a recipe that owner Ed Waldmire Jr. first ­encountered in Muskogee, Okla. In 1949, Cozy Dog Drive In opened on Route 66 in Springfield, and countless travelers ­driving by learned to love corn dogs.
