Fun Facts About Hot Dogs

1. The council estimates that Americans consume 20 billion hot dogs a year - more than twice the
retail sales figures. Basically, that's 70 hot dogs per American.

2. The first hot dog stand to open in America was in 1971 by Charles Feltman. He was a German butcher and he opened the first stand at Coney Island. He sold 3,684 dachshund sausages in a milk roll in his first year. 

3. One barbeque king theorizes that hot dogs are sold in packages of 10 and buns are sold in packages of 8 because 2 of the hot dogs always fall through the grill, so only 8 buns are needed.

4. Hot dog etiquette states that you should not use ketchup on your hot dog after the age of 18. Mustard, relish, onions, cheese and chili are acceptable.

5. Legend has is that hot dogs or frankfurters originated in Frankfurt-am-Main Germany around 1484.

5 Fun Facts about the Fourth of July

The Lake of the Ozarks is the best place to be during Fourth of July! We have fun activities, a great location, and of course the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks! As a way to celebrate this momentous holiday, here are five fun facts that you may not have known about the Fourth of July!


1. Birth & Death

Ironically, while July 4th 1776 was the birth of the independence for the United States, on the
sameday fifty years later John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died.


2. Filipino and Rwandan Independence Day

July 4th also marks the day that both the Philippines and Rwanda were liberated.  In the Philippines they have celebrated their Independence Day on June 12th since 1962. The Rwandans on the other hand do celebrate liberation day on July 4th.

3. Hot Dogs For All

July Fourth is the largest hot dog holiday of the year according to TIME magazine. Reportedly, Americans consume about 155 million of them on Independence Day alone.

4. American Bald...Turkey?

Benjamin Franklin was apparently displeased that the bald eagle was chosen as the symbol of the nation. Due to their "bad moral character", and not "getting his living honestly". He claimed that the bald eagle could often be seen in a dead tree watching the fishing hawk labor for their catch only to steal it away. Whereas the turkey, though vain and silly, was courageous, not hesitating to attack the British Guards should they enter his farm yard.

5. Tap the Bell

Due to the cracking of the iconic Liberty Bell, it has not been rung since 1846. Instead, every year for Fourth of July they tap the 2,000-pound bell 13 times to signal for bells across the country to start ringing.

Happy Fourth of July from Casablanca! Here are our favorite facts about the Fourth of July. We hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with family, food, and LOTS of hot dogs! We have some amazing hot dogs for your whole family. Our Casa Dog is phenomenal, and our Nacho Dog is pretty drool worthy too! We also have the most delicious craft beers at the Lake of the Ozarks for you to enjoy with your hot dog.
