The Mother of All Hot Dogs--HillBilly's Homewrecker
An astute and hot dog-loving Al Dente reader has informed me that I somehow missed a deadly hot dog from my original list. This hot dog is without a doubt the deadliest of all hot dogs. It's known as the "Homewrecker" and it's available at HillBilly Hotdogs in West Virginia.
The Homewrecker is a 3.5-lb. weapon of cardiovascular mass destruction. They start with a deep-fried 15", 1-pound dog and top it with peppers, onions, nacho cheese, chili sauce, jalapenos, mustard, ketchup, coleslaw, tomatoes, lettuce, and shredded cheese. Assured intestinal wreckage will run you $14.99. Finish it in under 12 minutes and you get a free burial t-shirt. Do it in under 4 minutes and your family will have an extra $14.99 for the funeral.
Watch Food Network's Guy Fieri dive into one.

I ate four of those for brekkie this morning. Hawt.

Unless you take some Beano before you dig in, that's a weapon of gas destruction.

'Homewrecker'?
Only if I didn't share.
Looks perfect for two.

Nice Camaro.

I dunno. To me that just a big honkin' hotdog. To truly be a death dog it should have at least 50% of its calories come from fat and include no vegetable matter, with the possible exception of onions. Coleslaw, lettuce and tomatoes? Sheesh, this thing is practically a salad.

Did you see Tony Bourdain digging in to a "Big Unit" hot dog with Alice Cooper at Cooperstown in Phoenix on the last episode of No Reservations? It's a biggun. http://www.alicecooperstown.com/

Looks worthy of a roadtrip to me.

Wow. I put that hot dog just below the World's Unhealthiest Burger:

One of those cheeseburgers would last me a work week!

WANT

Coleslaw, and not sauerkraut instead? Perverse!

Yeah I agree with Peter Jackson, It's not very scary to me I usually eat 4 regular hotdog sandwiches and I actually want one of these for myself. :)

Video is gone, but I am sick of this jerk yelling at me on the TV and other idiots he interviews yelling with him. STFU already.

I fear the methane and CO2 produced by this will drastically contribute to climate change. Somebody call ALGORE!

Don, waaaay too funny

Makes my arteries clog just looking at it.
Guy Fieri is a tool.

He's a little hammy, but I think he's perfect for Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Lots of personality and can eat his own weight.

I dunno. Have you guys never had a slaw dog? It's a real treat in WV. Take a hot dog, put hot dog sauce on it, and top with sauerkraut (sp?) That is the ONLY way to eat a hot dog.
Orion on August 08, 2008 at 01:15 AM
I can feel my arteries hardening just LOOKING at that.
Love hotdogs, just can't eat them. Sensitive to sodium nitrite and it's expensive to order those online.

NO WONDER OBESITY IS ONE OF THE TOP 5 PROBLEMS IN THE UNITED STATES !!! EVERYTHING SHOULD (AND CAN) BE PORTIONED CONTROLLED !!!
WHEN PEOPLE LEARN TO EAT CORRECTLY, monstrocities such as this [alleged] "Hot Dog" SHOULD become a "Party for 15". That way, one can have a VERY SMALL taste, with PLENTY to go around for 20 people ! Health to YOU !
