Yahoo! News has published a photo slideshow titled 'Most Expensive Foods in the World'. Among its many mind-boggling entries is this one.

Hot Dog, $145.49
On May 31, 2012, Sacramento's Capitol Dawg made its way into the pages of the Guinness Book of World Records with its California Capitol City Dawg.
Served on a foccacia roll, the world's most expensive hot dog is an 18-inch beef frank topped with Swedish moose cheese, Italian white truffle butter, French mustard, garlic-herb mayonnaise, smoked maple bacon from New Hampshire and local balsamic vinaigrette.

A hundred and fifty bucks for a hot dog??? Ye Gods and little fishes . . .

I don't care how many pigs they had to train to help with the butter, I'm not spending that much for a hot dog.
ReplyDeleteI say God Bless America. If you have the money to drop $145 on anything for a meal, knock yourself out. That said, there's no way on God's green earth that I'd pay that for dinner for two with my dear wife!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid to ask what a side order of fries costs...
ReplyDeleteNotice the location? That's the capitol of CA. That dog is designed to separate a politician from his pocket change.
ReplyDeleteCapitol Dawg is about 3 blocks from where I live! The rest of their menu is much more reasonably-priced.

ReplyDeleteIt does say moose cheese. I wonder if some of the cost is hazard pay for milking the moose.
