Vancouver has become the new home of the world’s most expensive hot dog.
Hot dog restaurant DougieDog Hot Dogs introduced a $100 hot dog to their menu on Tuesday.
The Dragon Dog consists of a foot-long bratwurst infused with 100-year-old Louis XIII cognac — which, on its own has a price tag of $2,000 — Kobe beef seared in olive and truffle oil, fresh lobster, and picante sauce.
“When people have food you have to be able to taste the different tastes, people have the chance to taste each (individual ingredient),” said Dougie Luv, owner and hot dog connoisseur of DougieDog Hot Dogs. “All the tastes intertwine with each other.”
But while The Dragon Dog may seem over the top for the ordinarily humble hot dog, Luv insists it remains true to the original hot dog identity.
“I didn’t want to change the concept of a hot dog, we wanted to inspire it and bring it to the next level,” he said. “It’s a hot dog that anyone would love.”
As yet, no one has ordered the world’s most expensive hot dog, but Luv said it will remain a permanent feature on the menu.
Patrons will need to place their order for The Dragon Dog 12 hours in advance in order for the ingredients to be prepared.
The Dragon Dog broke the previous record of world’s most expensive hot dog held by a $69 Haute Dog found at Serendipity restaurant in New York.
