The 7 Hotdogs of the Apocalypse
Global warming, swine flu, terrorism, even the Jonas Brothers, you'd figure one of these would mark the destruction of mankind, but no.
Instead, doom will come stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, fried in oil, stuffed in a bun and topped with sauerkraut, mayonnaise and lard.
The streets will run pink with hotdog.
1. French Fried Dog on a Stick
- This monstrosity hails from South Korea. One hotdog, battered with flour and cornmeal, wrapped with French fries, fried and conveniently impaled on a stick.
2. Deep Fried in the Garden State
- Get off the parkway in the Soprano state and head to Clifton, New Jersey for Rutt's Hut famous, or infamous, deep fried hotdogs and salty onion rings.
3. Twisted in Bacon and Grilled
- Here's the cardiovascular disease starter kit. A real do-it-yourself! Just get some hot dogs, wrapped them in bacon, sauerkraut, onions and get grilling.
4. As American as Hotdog Pie
- Apple pie is an American standard and no Fourth of July would be the same with out wiener, but if you combine pie and hot dogs. You get a true American psycho.
5. Snappin' Wiener with Green Beans
- Steve's Snappin' Dogs pairs up serves up dogs made with bacon, sour cream, coleslaw, mayonnaise and cheddar jack cheese, with green beans and carrots. Odd.
6. Cored and Cheese Whizzed
- Drill holes in your dogs, inflate them with spray cheese, roll in bacon, and deep fry. You don't even need a bun for these puppies!
7. Ketchup, Mustard and Lard
- Paula Deen may know southern cooking, but she needs her head examined. Because she'll top your wiener with bacon, cheese sauce and scoops of lard.
Egad. The amount of saturated fat in this post meets the recommended daily allowance for 5 years. Hell hath no fury like a hotdog scorned.
I said it before, in the hamburger post, but it's still ironic that a guy who doesn't eat meat got to write this. I may have a secondhand heart attack.

I'd never touch an ordinary hot dog, and I'd definitely be miles away from these very fattening hot dogs!! Easy for me since I live in Singapore, but there are lots of donut and fried snacks shops here and they sell really nasty fried, and sugary things. :/
I don't understand why anyone would want to eat any of these...they certainly don't do any good to our bodies at all.
ReplyWhat I find interesting about the deep fried food in South Korea is those people live longer than Americans. I also find it interesting that some countries with higher smoking rates have a higher life expectancy than Americans. Like the French Paradox - there are alot of wierd things that fly in the face of what the experts keep telling us.

Replythis is making me sick while looking at it...i dont even want to drink my protein shake anymore...
ReplyI'm looking forward to eating lots of hot dogs this summer, and I hope to enter into many of the various eating contests. And the Nathan's contest on the 4th of July? Can't get any better. Long live the weiner.
ReplyI eat a hot dog occasionally (though usually Smart Dogs or Applewood Farms only) but ewwwwwww. None of these look the slightest bit appealing!
ReplyI LOVE a good hot dog, especially the Hebrew National kind. And the corn dogs from "Hot Dog on a Stick" are fantastic! Mmmm... (Sorry, pregnancy craving. lol).
But these--they look plain awful! Ugh. I hope these places have cardiologists on staff.
ReplyYou should see the mac n cheese dog...

My dad had a good friend who absolutely swore by cooking in lard and eating it every day. He looked like he was about 30 when in reality he was closer to 55 or 60 years old. And his cholesterol levels were excellent, so maybe he was onto something.
Still, I can't stand hot dogs...mixed meats all mashed together and sqeezed into casings and cooked. Not the most appetizing thing ever.
ReplyI love a hot dog once in awhile, but now only buy the fat free kind. These "gourmet" items, however, are about the grossest things I have seen. Especially the ones topped with lard.
ReplyNone of those almost look like food at all...more like grilled/deep-fried severed limbs out of a horror movie.
ReplyI'm glad someone out there, besides me, is still using lard (2nd best dietary source of natural Vitamin D).
ReplyThere's some carts that sell bacon-wrapped hot dogs on the main drag of the neighborhood. They smell nasty, so I've never tried, but I can imagine if I had a drink or two too many, I might some time. Or better yet, make it home with Niman Ranch hot dogs and bacon, less cruelty involved.
ReplyMy stomach hurts just looking at this! Unbelievable!
