Here are restaurants in the Milwaukee area to get a hot dog on National Hot Dog Day July 16
WATCH: New Jersey’s most controversial hot dog is back
Served at 1950 Originals each January, this limited-edition “Ramen Dog” has divided the internet since it hit Instagram last winter.
National Hot Dog Day – which is Wednesday, July 16 – is your chance to find a tasty hot dog to try, with many area restaurants featuring the item on its menu.
And here is a fun fact about hot dogs: They are a good source of protein. According to USA Today, hot dogs normally have 5 grams of protein.
While it can be mixed if hot dogs are healthy or not, some argue putting vegetables as toppings can assist with hot dogs being part of a healthy diet.
“They are healthy because they are natural, all beef with lots of veggies,” said Reannen Anderson, owner of Waukesha-based food truck, Big John’s Burgers and Dogs in Waukesha.
These are many Milwaukee-area restaurants to grab a hot dog.

MLB Draft 2026: Milwaukee Brewers Draft Signing Tracker
The Brewers drafted 20 players over the course of 20 rounds in the 2026 MLB Draft, including first-round shortstop Trey Ebel, second-round outfielder Sawyer Strosnider, Wilmot Union HS (Wisconsin) shortstop Chance Ruby, and CC Sabathia’s son, first baseman Carsten Sabathia III. The team now has until 4 p.m. CT on July 27 to sign each draft pick. We’ll keep track of the signees below.
Milwaukee’s total signing bonus pool is $8,042,900, which can be allocated as the team chooses (i.e., slot bonuses are not the guaranteed signing value). Rounds 11-20 automatically have $150,000 allocated to the slot — money given to these picks only counts toward the bonus pool if they exceed $150,000. Teams that exceed their bonus pool face financial penalties, with higher thresholds resulting in the loss of future picks.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Pittsburgh Pirates Live Stream: How to Watch MLB
Division-leading Brewers aim to avoid series sweep against Skenes and the Pirates
Having won two of their last three series, the Pittsburgh Pirates return home to PNC Park on Sunday afternoon for a matinee matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers in search of a third straight victory and their first series sweep since May in the final game before the All-Star Break. The Brewers are 23 games over .500 as the season hits the mid-Summer Classic, but are in danger of being swept for the first time since April during their season-longest six-game losing skid. Milwaukee will send left-hander Robert Gasser (2-3, 4.15 ERA) to the mound in search of his third win in his last four starts, while the Pirates will counter with three-time All-Star Paul Skenes, who is looking for just his second win since mid-May.

Skenes (7-8, 3.58 ERA), now in his third season in the majors, has struggled to replicate the success he had in his first two seasons, where he took home NL Rookie of the Year Award followed by the NL Cy Young Award the following year, having posted just one victory in his last 10 starts. The 24-year-old right-hander had his worst outing of the season on July 1 when he gave up seven earned runs, including a pair of home runs, in just four innings as part of a 10-6 loss to the Phillies.
Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers leads the team with 18 home runs and 59 RBIs this season, both marking career highs for the 30-year-old journeyman. Bauers broke into the majors in 2018 with Tampa Bay, but had bounced around the league playing in Cleveland, Seattle, and with the Yankees before landing the everyday job with Milwaukee in 2024, helping the Brewers make consecutive playoff appearances.

IndyCar drivers make a pit stop at the Milwaukee Mile
WEST ALLIS, Wis.– IndyCar racers test-drive at the Milwaukee Mile ahead of the August doubleheader.
The IndyCar Series has back-to-back races at the track on August 29 and August 30.
Racers had the rare opportunity to practice laps in West Allis on Wednesday, July 8.
“It’s a tough place; it’s a very tough course,” said four-time IndyCar series champion Álex Palou. “I feel like every time I come here, the car and the driving feels very different.”
Palou currently leads the 2026 IndyCar Series in points and will race the Milwaukee Mile next month.
“It just makes everything super close, especially being the second to last event of the year and having two races ” said Palou. “If you have a good weekend, it’s great, but if you don’t, you can be crying after it.”
The IndyCar Series consists of 18 races across the United States and Canada.
Milwaukee is the only doubleheader race on the schedule, making the event worth double the points and potentially swinging the series championship leaderboard.
“It’s one of those tracks that you need a car that gives you a lot of confidence, but you need to have confidence in this place as well.”
IndyCar driver Josef Newgarden is eager to get back on the Milwaukee Mile.
“It’s the most historic racetrack that you’ll find in North America, and it’s very historic when you think of IndyCar,” said Newgarden. “I’ve always wanted to be back here.”
According to the Wisconsin State Fair website, the Milwaukee Mile is the oldest operating motor speedway in the world.
The first automobile race was held there in 1903 on a dirt track. Cars similar to IndyCars first competed on the West Allis track in 1933.
“I love this market,” said Newgarden. “I think Milwaukee’s a great place to race and we’ve got a good fan base here.”
The IndyCar Series raced at the Milwaukee Mile annually from 2004 to 2015. The track did not host the series from 2016 through 2023. IndyCar returned in 2024 and has raced there each year since.
The Milwaukee Mile will host the IndyCar Series for the Snap-on Makers and Fixers 250 on Saturday, August 29, and the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250 on Sunday, August 30.
