"By the time you add shredded cheese, chili, sautéed onions and fries, the entire plate could weigh two pounds."
I think I could maybe eat a whole one without toppings, probably not more than half when fully loaded. How about other MGoBloggers out there?
You don't need to budget your money, because if you eat that thing, you have about fifteen minutes to live . . . .
and I'm still not sure how good that looks.

Even for a hillbilly that thing looks disgusting.
Everything is bigger in Texas...
I live in Texas (well, when I'm not stuck in Afghanistan) and this dog has nothing on the monstrosity known as "The Big Unit" I encountered at Cooperstown in Phoenix. Yes, I did finish it. The poop the next day was nothing short of rapturous. I'll let the photo speak for itself:
You are the wind beneath my wings.
Seriously I am impressed.

Does this look about right?
has anyone ever attempted the fifth third burger @ a whitecaps game in Grand Rapids?
I've never attepmted it by myself but I have shared it before. The concept is really good, but the burgers are REALLY overcooked. The flavors involved really mesh well together, but it would be tough to eat the whole thing if only because of the dryness associated with the burger patties. You make it with real hamburgers that are cooked to perfection and it would be GREAT!
that is ridiculous. that thing is massive!
....that's what she said
Imagine being so culturally impoverished. You can't make up for style with sheer weight.
We're talking about ballpark food here. Imagine if people drew conclusions on the restaurant culture in Ann Arbor based on Michigan Stadium cuisine.
Imagine having no sense of humor.
It probably comes with a portable defibrillator.
I could easily eat that whole thing in 3 - 4 innings. Anyone care to make a wager?
Are you going to buy our ticket/flight to a Texas Rangers game so we can watch you do it?
If that is the case, then yes I bet you $25 you can't do it
I could eat it faster. Give me 10 minutes.
...but the real question is, "How fast can Kobayashi eat it?"
So if I split that five ways to make the portions more reasonable, I'm still paying over $5 for a hot dog. What a deal?
Not to mention your one 1/5th portion would be just under 5 inches, as the whole thing looks to be 24 inches. Seems awkward to eat.
TWSS.
Bleah.
Just imagine how much you would have to spend on beer to wash it all down with.
I find the tape measure along the length of the weiner very helpful.
I dont feel good after eating one hot dog. I can imagine not throwing up after this.
I could do it. I have devored the Arena's two lb burger in 15 minutes. Game on.
The problem is not fitting the hot dog in your stomach. The problem is fitting it in your tiny seat with no leg room without spilling mustard all over yourself and your neighbor.
Is the massive poop you would need to take in the ballpark bathroom . . . .
I'd destroy that thing.
I'll take 2.
I want to go to there
26$ is a bit much.
At my local minor league team (Akron Aeros) they brought in a chef who came up with some outrageous food items. They have a dog called 3 Dog Night which is a huge basket of a hot dog, inside a bratwurst, inside a kielbasa and then smothered with sauerkraut and stadium mustard. It's only 7$ also. Delicious.
The West Michigan Whitecaps roll out some of the craziest stuff in all the land.
just gross
bacon makes everything better.

I try to stay away from processed meat. Let alone whole pound foot long processed meat.
2 pounds? Whatever.
The Nationals are introducing an eight-pound burger this year, the "Strasburger".
Nothing like watching a crappy home baseball game washed down with 8 pounds of gluttony.
Nationals are going to be surprisingly good this year.
