Wikipedia: White Hot
For information on materials glowing white due to temperature, see blackbody radiation. "White Hot" was also a single off of Canadian band Red Rider's debut album, Don't Fight It.

The White Hot is Rochester, New York's variation on the hot dog. This edible is comprised of uncured and unsmoked pork, which allows it to retain a naturally white color. The company "Zweigle's" made the White Hot famous. Even though they were not the first to make the dog, they were "the first ones at the stadium" (according to Robert Berl, the first maker of the Zweigle brand White Hot). Soon after Berl began making the dogs in 1925, he secured a contract at the Red Wing Stadium.

Even though it remains a Rochester, New York specialty, Zweigle's ships the dogs all over the world. It has become the official hot dog of the Buffalo Bills.

There is an unrelated white German sausage, traditional in Bavaria and popular in the mid-western United States, known as weisswurst, which is made primarily from veal and prepared for eating in the same way as bratwurst.
