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 live in Huntington, WV where this hotdog is made. One day, I was feeling adventurous and decided that I was going to try to eat this. Well, being female, 5'6" and about 120lbs, I was unable to even come close to finishing. My strategy, though, was to eat the hotdog first, followed by mixing the peppers in with the coleslaw to neutralize the burn. I ate the 1lb. weiner and ate maybe two bites of the rest of it. I don't know how people can do it.
Additionally, while I was there someone decided to tackle another Hillbilly Hotdogs original, the Double Wide.

You can't get unhealthier than that.
