37-Foot Hot Dog May Be a Record
Posted on: Friday, 2 July 2004, 06:00 CDT
CHICAGO - Vienna Beef is claiming the record for the world's longest hot dog.
The giant frank measures 37 feet, two inches.
The monster wiener was unveiled at the Taste of Chicago festival yesterday, to celebrate the start of National Hot Dog Month.
But it wouldn't be much of a dog without the toppings. The giant frank is garnished with a gallon of mustard, a gallon of bright green relish, 140 tomato slices, four pounds of chopped onions and 70 pickle spears.
Officials of Vienna Beef say they'll donate the equivalent amount of meat and other food to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. The not-for-profit distribution center helps feed the hungry of Cook County.
