Celebrate National Corn Dog Day with Fletcher's Original Corny Dogs

The meal-on-a-stick invention originated in Dallas, TX in 1938

On Saturday, March 18 the world will celebrate National Corn Dog Day. They have brothers Neil & Carl Fletcher to thank for the meal-on-a-stick which was inventedin 1938, right here in Dallas, Texas. A corn dog consists of a high-quality hot dog on a stick hand-dipped into Fletcher’s proprietary cornmeal batter and deep fried until it’s golden brown. After several years of trial and error they debuted their creation at their food booth at the 1942 State Fair of Texas and have perfected what millions of fans know today as a “Corny Dog.” Each year over 500,000 Fletcher’s Original Corny Dogs are sold at the State Fair of Texas. That’s 60,000 pounds of hot dogs! For the past eight decades Fletcher’s has been a family-owned and operated business. They are proud of their family legacy and are excited to continue to introduce new generations of fans to their Corny Dogs.
