Originally a small hot-dog stand on the beach, Pronto Pup made a name for itself after owner George Boyington decided to make "buns" for the hot-dogs as needed, since the rain had been ruining his pre-made buns.

Pronto Pup's delicious hand-dipped corndogs quickly became a national sensation, and franchises opened up all across the country. While many places claim to be the birthplace of the corndog, no known accounts pre-date George Boyington's.
