hot dog stand

A hot dog stand is a food vendor, take-out place, or an eatery without restaurant-style table service, which specializes in reddish sausages served in soft sliced buns, usually with condiments such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, sauerkraut, or onions.

The sausage-and-bun dish is the specialty. The listed condiments are usual accompaniments rather than mandatory ingredients.

Sausage stands specialize in sausages other than hot dogs. A counter selling hot dogs retains this more specific food identity.
