"text": "National Corndog Day celebrates the corndog—a sausage or hot dog coated in cornmeal batter, deep-fried, and served on a stick. Its handheld design helped make it a convenient food at fairs, festivals, sports arenas, and other events, where it is often enjoyed with dipping sauces such as ketchup or mustard. South Florida Reporter describes the corndog as a popular food among sports fans, concertgoers, and fairgoers.\nThe observance began in 1992 in Corvallis, Oregon, when Brady Sahnow and Henry Otley gathered to watch college basketball and eat corndogs. The informal celebration later expanded to include tater tots and gradually spread to other cities. The Oregonian’s account connects the day with watching the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, while The Quint identifies the observance as taking place on the third Saturday of March.",
