    Vancouver eatery says its $100 hotdog is infused with $2,000 a bottle cognac

    (DougieDog)
    VANCOUVER - A Vancouver eatery is billing its new Dragon Dog as the most expensive hotdog in the world.

    DougieDog Hot Dogs says the footlong creation is "mouth-wateringly delicious" — and it'll set diners back $100.

    The Dragon Dog is made with a bratwurst infused with century-old Louis the 13th cognac, which costs more than $2,000 a bottle.

    Other ingredients include Kobe beef seared in olive and truffle oil, fresh lobster and a secret picante sauce.

    DougieDog proprietor dougie luv says he wanted to come up something "super tasty and high-end" that stays true to the traditional identity of the hot dog.

    The restaurant claims the Dragon Dog is the first hotdog in the world to sell for three figures, challenging the $69 "haute dog" at Serendipity restaurant in New York.

      Seems like a waste to use an old cognac this way. Can it really be appreciated with all the other toppings? Please pour it in my glass instead.

      A $100 Hot Dog!? Only in Vancouver! I knew Vancouverites were crazy, paying exorbitant house prices and appartment rents, but this borders on stupidity!

      What a joke , what this guy created is not a hot dog . And i guarantee it cant taste as good as the traditional dog with mustard.

      "DougieDog proprietor dougie luv says he wanted to come up something "super tasty and high-end" that stays true to the traditional identity of the hot dog."
      How does putting cognac, truffles, and lobster stay true to the identity of the hot dog?!?!?
      A traditional hot dog is made from all the crap that's leftover from the carcass, ground up, dyed to look like meat, artificially flavored to taste like meat, then squeezed into intestines and sold to our children for treats.
      I tried one of these monstrosities on a trip to Van recently(that god for expense accounts!!) and it was absolutely awful..I tried to get my bill cancelled after the first bite and they refused, I made a fuss and was threatened that they would call the cops
      This guy is a nasshole looking to make a quick buck

      Anyone that would pay $100 for a hot dog "...infused with cognac..." has got to have more money than brains.

      But how does someone that stupid ear that kind of money???

      I don't think it looks all that appealing to be honest.

      First of all, this looks gross. Second of all, that cognac isn't like, a limitless supply. Seems like kind of a waste. :C

      they can stiff the hot dog where the sun don't shine.
    • Dondon  •  Surrey, British Columbia  •  28 days ago
      wow!

      Anyone who says it looks disgusting unfortunately are only eating with their eyes and they have no idea what they're looking at. There's the bratwurst on the far right side. The brown meat towards the left is kobe beef (the king of beef), the white stuff is lobster and the sauce on top of that is their "secret" picante sauce. If anything, it just looks messy. But from reading the description, I bet it taste delicious. The price tag however, is a different issue itself
