The History of the Michigan Hot Dog

Every July for the past few summers, the Town of Plattsburgh has hosted “Michigan Month” to celebrate the North Country’s most famous culinary delicacy. “Michigans” were first sold at a roadside stand just south of the City of Plattsburgh nearly a hundred years ago.

This summer, local author Dan Ladue has written a new book, Two With, Buried: The History of the Michigan Hot Dog, that tells the story of the famous hot dog’s origins here in the North Country.
