== Invention and rise to fame ==
The dish was conceived in 1960's by Teodor Leppänen (1902–1978), a fast food grill owner from Nokia. The most well known story about the invention says that he had been selling apple jelly doughnuts with coffee and steamed sausages.

In the end of the first decade of the millennium, [[MTV3]] Ennätystehdas record making show had Mikko Salonen from Nokia eating four and a half Kuuma koiras in 5 minutes on a live broadcast, creating a new official record.
