The world’s most expensive hot dog is only $69
Shawn Norris
In a world where we have diamond studded cell phones, thousand dollar pairs of sunglasses and Michael Bay movies, one would think the “world’s most expensive” anything would set you back at least $100. But it seems that’s not the case for certain types of food like the hot dog, which only tops out at around $70. Come on America, we can do better than that.
Only $69–I think I’ve actually spent that amount on hot dogs at a Dodger’s game once. This is the most lackluster “world’s most expensive” item that I’ve ever seen. You know it’s not a huge culinary or world shattering accomplishment when someone asks, “Would you spend $70 on a hot dog?” and some people answer, “I dunno? Maybe…What’s on it?”
I’m disappointed right now. We can do better than this America! There’s nothing baller about a hot dog with salted pretzel bun and heirloom tomato ketchup. This is the country that gave you MTV Cribs! You have to make this thing sexier and more expensive. With the right attitude and wording, I think we could make a $50,000 hotdog.
“Yo, so this hot dog was made from… you know that pig in Charlotte’s Web? Yeah, well that’s the pig they used to make this hot dog. Now we take this hot dog and we put it in this one-of-a-kind wheat bun designed by the late Gianni Versace and top it off with onions we stole from Martha Stewart’s garden, tiny pieces of cake from the wedding of Dennis Rodman to Carmen Electra and two packets of ketchup that survived the Hindenburg. All slow cooked over a fire started with the last few pages of The Treaty of Versailles to give it that smoky America never loses flavor. Oh yeah, and we hired P. Diddy and he’s going to serenade you with songs about hot dogs. And it’ll only cost you a year’s salary!”
Come on people, you only live once…
