Pronto Pup is an amusement park and carnival food similar to a corn dog made with flour mix, which is used by restaurants and street vendors across the United States. Named for the speed of the cooking process,[1] the Pronto Pup was invented in Otis, Oregon, and is marketed as the original corn dog. The independently owned Rockaway Beach location was opened in 2016 and has not seen the success of the original Otis location so close to the popular coastal tourist destination of Lincoln City, and came up for sale in 2021. The new owners continue to market the restaurant and hopefully will do well. In the more remote Oregon coast location.
Pronto Pup batter is made with pancake batter, whereas non-descript corn dogs use variations of cornbread batter. While both include cornmeal, the difference is in the sweetness: corn dogs have it; Pronto Pups don't.[2]
Today, the Pronto Pup brand reflects both the specific type of batter used for the first corn dogs and the shared brand name of restaurants who use the batter manufactured by The Pronto Pup Company based in Portland, Oregon. Outside of Oregon, where they were invented, Pronto Pups are a common food found in county fairs throughout Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, and North and South Dakota. Some differ from the original by using a bratwurst instead of a hot dog as the sausage.
