On May 31, 2012, [[Guinness World Records]](GWR) certified the '''world record for most expensive hot dog''', at $145.49. The "California Capitol City Dawg", served at [[Capitol Dawg]] in Sacramento, California, features a grilled 18" 3/4 lb. all-beef in a natural casing frank from Chicago, served on a fresh baked herb-and-oil focaccia roll, smeared with white truffle butter, then toasted on the grill. The original hot dog is topped with a whole grain mustard from Meaux,France, garlic-herb mayonnaise, sauteed chopped shallots, organic mixed baby greens, maple syrup-marinated/fruitwood smoked uncured bacon from New Hampshire, chopped tomato, expensive moose cheese from Sweden, sweetened dried cranberries, basil olive oil/pear-cranberry-coconut balsamic vinaigrette, and ground peppercorn. A GWR adjudicator observed as Sacramento's [[Brian Wheat]], bass player from the rock band [[Tesla]], was the first customer to order and purchase the new menu item. [[Capitol Dawg]] owner Mike Brown who created, prepared and served the pricey hot dog to Wheat, then accepted the official GWR world record certificate. Proceeds from the sale of each $145.49 hot dog are being donated to the [[Shriners Hospitals for Children]]. The previous GWR world record for most expensive hot dog was held by a hot dog stand in Canada, who sold their specialty sausage for $100. |
