Record-Setting Fast Foods

The Foot Long Haute-Dog is the World's Most Expensive Junk Food

— September 1, 2010 — Lifestyle
The foot long Haute-Dog may be the classiest hot dog ever created. Sold at New York City restaurant Serendipity 3, the Haute-Dog has just been certified as the world's most expensive hot dog at $63.

The foot long Haute-Dog is smothered in truffle oil, topped with duck foie gras, and seated in a salty pretzel bun. $63 for a hot dog may seem expensive, but the Haute-Dog looks to be worth every penny. Read below to see the list of essential ingredients. Maybe making one at home wouldn't be such a bad idea...
