Chili Dog Day celebrates the combination of two American inventions: the hot dog and chili.
You can't understand the Southwestern United States without understanding its affinity for chili. Chili is a Mexican-American invention. It is a mole-based stew developed during cattle drives between Northern Mexico and Montana during the western expansion in the US of the 19th century. Mole is a style of sauce from Mexico.
Beans, one of the easiest to transport and inexpensive sources of protein, were the cowboys' main sustenance on the cattle trail. Often beans were all they had, so the cowboys mixed these with spices and chilies. Meat, usually beef, bison, or venison when available, was added, creating Chili con Carne.
Today, people take great pride in their chili recipes. Chili appears on hamburgers, hotdogs, and nachos served in bread bowls or eaten alone.
What chili is, is really up to the chef, as long as it has chilies of several varieties.
