Film Hot Dogs

Serious Eats Creates Food Inspired by the Best Picture Nominated Films

The Oscars are this Sunday, and what better way to celebrate but with some Oscar Mayer wieners from Serious Eats. The creators have crafted nine Oscar-themed hot dogs inspired by each of the films nominated for Best Picture.

These hot dogs come in a variety of toppings, each representing a film. From the grilled pineapple and sriracha on 'The Hawaii Dog' for The Descendants, to the collard greens and gravy on top of a fried chicken sausage for The Help, these hot dogs are very tempting. Forget the Academy Awards, who wants to know who will win best Oscar dog?

Serious Eats have taken something so simple, and created masterpieces inspired by Oscar-nominated films. Hopefully these dogs don't overshadow the films!
