Meet the American who invented the 'clean, wholesome' corn dog
Fox News
Stanley S. Jenkins of Buffalo, N.Y. patented an appliance in 1929 that allowed him to skewer battered foods such as hot dogs — and fry them in oil.
Stanley Jenkins stands astride the nation as a colossus of American folk food. "Sometimes an idea is just out there in the air and a lot of people seem to pick it up." "Buffalo is to a large degree a little-known food city but one with a really rich culinary heritage." "Buffalo boasts more than 250 years of collective hot dog history." He proposed "limiting the size of the foamy collar on a glass of beer" — apparently fearing that too much foam in the glass meant too little delicious golden beer for his constituents. Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
He pioneered a brave new wiener world in which hot dogs are coddled lovingly in delicious corn-meal batter then bathed in hot oil, a treatment befitting culinary royalty.
Jenkins’ dream of a finer fankfurter soon spread across the nation. Corn dogs today are enjoyed by millions of Americans each year at street festivals, carnivals and state fairs from coast to coast.
