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.

Wow That's the Biggest Hot Dog I ever Seen!!

Oh my gosh...this looks so yummy, but SOOOO bad!!!

The dog quickly became ubiquitous across culture across the world, and was extremely valuable to early human settlements. For instance, it is believed that the successful emigration across the Bering Strait might not have been possible without sled dogs.

Yes the Homewrecker is a major dog, but our 5 pound chili dog at Parkers Hot Dog in west Roseville is much better. We had Adam Richman from Man vs Food come on by and try it. Its a monster. If you eat it 12 minutes is free and you get a shirt.
