Sausages are a staple of German street food, and yet most places serve sausages in a round "semmel" bun. But the sausages are long (duh) so they just beg for a longer bun. Why do you think hot-dog-style buns aren't more popular?

As a German I think of American hot dogs as disgusting sausage wrapped in disgusting bread.

Right, but here is a real opportunity to make it into something great. Also, not all American hot dogs are terrible, you just need to know a good place ;)

I think the overall sentiment is not so much why doesn’t Germany do American style bread buns, but moreso why isn’t there a bun of any style of bread in the mix in certain situations. Maybe not for a restaurant setting but wursts in quick eat situations like fairs and food trucks/stands…seems like it would make sense. Some have em but its pretty rare.

My theory is that you just don't need them. You only need enough to keep something between your fingers and the hot wurst.
