Posh hundred dollar hot dogs sell out in a day at Calgary Stampede

CALGARY — A food truck selling a posh hot dog for $100 at the Calgary Stampede has sold out after just one day.

The Dragon Dog is infused with expensive cognac and topped with Kobe beef, lobster and truffles.

Dougie Luv, owner of the Vancouver-based DougieDog Diner truck, says he didn’t think many Calgarians would be interested in his specialty because of the tough economy, so he only brought enough ingredients to make 100 of them.

But he was wrong.

He says as soon as they opened up shop, people starting calling and making reservations for the hot dogs and by the second day of the Stampede, they were sold out.

Luv says he’ll make it up to any customers who missed out by coming back to Calgary in a month’s time, with more Dragon Dogs in tow.

Will anyone be trying this? 😳💯 #calgarystampede #dragondog #crazyfood #INSTASTAMPEDE DRAGON DOG ($100 HOTDOG) “Guinness Book of Records states it’s the most expensive hot dog in the world at a price of $100. A foot long sweet bread bun with a foot long bratwurst sausage infused with the cognac Louis XIII which sells for $3000 a bottle. It’s then smothered in Kobe beef, cooked in truffle oil, fresh lobster tail, cooked in butter and garlic, using our special Dragon sauces and finished and topped with a fine mixture of truffles, tomatoes and ricotta cheese.”
