Wiener Story Of The Day: Asylum's BigHotDog.com Makes Big Hot Dogs:

Like us, you probably die a little inside every time you see a regular hot dog and realize it can't feed 49 other people.

The good people at BigHotDog.com (otherwise known as BigAssHotDog.com) share our indignation over the sad state of phallic meat and created the aptly named Big Hot Dog, a $40 wiener that weighs in at 7 lbs. and is 16 inches long and 4 inches in diameter.

If you can handle being horribly emasculated by your food, you can have one made to order on Tuesdays right in Chicago and invite over a group of friends presumably to slice of chunks of wiener sandwich, as it contains 50 servings...

Big Ass Hot Dog. Big Hot Dog + ASS = All natural disposable butt toy!

Hmm, Already got one in the toy box a bit longer - 18"x4"dia - cost about the same and it's non-perishable.

You are OBSESSED!! LOL!!

This is obviously a kosher dog. I'm going to have to drag you and Dave up here, kicking and screaming, to feed you Chicago-style hot dogs until you can't eat any more. ;)

Didn't read the page, did ya?

"Great for tailgating, football parties, BBQs, family reunions, novelty gifts, and for hot dog lovers of all ages. The BIG HOT DOG measures 16" long and 4" in diameter and is made of 100% veal, beef, pork, every Tuesday in Chicago, Illinois. The BIG HOT DOG differs from normal "tiny" hotdogs, in that it is 50 times bigger, weighs 7 lbs, has 50 servings per BIG HOT DOG, and is served by slicing it into patties for cooking and eating per the consumer's desire."

I say... Bologna!

Serious. Seven pounds is 112 ounces. Divide by 50 people, and you get a little over 2 ounces per person. I don't know about you, but the people I know can handle more than a cocktail frank.

[furrbear.livejournal.com]

A one pound pack divided into eight hotdogs is 2oz. each.

We talking a bit more than a "Cocktail frank" for most folks. I believe there are 5 (maybe 6) cocktail franks to a 2oz serving of OM's Little Smokies. That's 4/10 oz each.

Do "these people you know" eat normal hotdogs as if they were cocktail franks?

It's a WEINER BURGER!!! LOL

[grizzlyzone.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

Woody and Dominic were good for two hot dogs each, and I never considered either of them to be big eaters.

And, when I hosted picnics, I never figured an individual attendee was good for only one of anything.

True story -- the guy with the messed-up facial hair doing the video on the website is the boyfriend of the daughter of one of my writer buddies.

Don't forget. Steamed, boiled or grilled, never broiled, in a poppyseed bun, with mustard, relish, onion, dill pickle spear, tomatoes, sport peppers and celery salt.

Can't forget the celery salt.

[envirobear.livejournal.com]

The hot sport peppers are optional...but the relish MUST be this stuff that is neon-green from the food dye they use in it. Just one or two shakes of celery salt on the tomatoes and pickle....

[pangolin.livejournal.com]

This seems like basically unsliced bologna.

[grizzlyzone.livejournal.com]

You know, I've always wondered where one gets those sport peppers from. The closest I've been is a type of hot sauce that consists of sport peppers packaged in a jar of vinegar brine, like Texas Pete Pepper Sauce.

On the mustard, I'm thinking Plochman's mustard, as it's made downstate in Manteno.

But, neon green? I've heard that. I just don't know about it.

You can find both the sport peppers and the relish in supermarkets here, but you may be interested in http://www.viennabeef.com/products/item.asp?PRODUCT_ID=21 The relish is there, too...you get an idea of the color when you follow that link. And you can order it all from Vienna Beef's website :)
