BRING ME YR LARGEST HOT DOG, PLEASE
Aug. 8th, 2008 01:56 amITEM [via BoingBoing]: As an American living overseas, I get lots of questions from locals who are planning to visit the USA for a holiday or business trip and need traveling tips like: “Where can I get me a 3.5 pound hot dog?”
Easy. Just go to Hillbilly Hotdogs in West Virginia and order a Homewrecker.
What’s a Homewrecker, you ask? That’s a deep-fried 15", 1-pound dog with peppers, onions, nacho cheese, chili sauce, jalapenos, mustard, ketchup, coleslaw, tomatoes, lettuce, and shredded cheese. Yrs for $14.99 – or free of charge if you can eat it in under four minutes. (Finish it in under 12 minutes and you get a free t-shirt.)
As seen on the Food Network.
DISCLAIMER: I love hot dogs. And I love diner/drive-in food culture as a concept, as well as a lot of the food associated with it. I also like the Diners, Drive-Ins And Dives segments – they uncover some cool restaurants from time to time. But I watch stuff like this and I think to myself, “See, THIS is why we can’t afford a national healthcare system.”
I’d go on, but Bill Maher did it for me a year ago.
BONUS TRACK: Five more hot dogs that will also probably kill you.
Damn. Now I’m hungry. And I could go for a Superdawg about now. Those of you in Chicago, pls send one by air mail.
Hot diggety dog,
This is dF
