7x7 - The Big Eat SF 2009: 100 Things to Try Before You Die

There's not much to say about these hot dogs except that they definitely do the job after several drinks during a night out. The thought of buying street food from a person who passes hot dogs out to inebriated party goers without ever washing his/her hands kind of freaks me out, but when you're hungry at 2am, it serves as a great meal (and a cheap one). Of course, bacon makes everything great.

You may have heard the constant debate of whether or not SF stole this from LA, but who the hell cares. It's a damn hot dog for crying out loud! Just eat it and enjoy.

Verdict: Steer clear if you have germaphobia. If not, dig in - if you don't like it at least you only wasted a few bucks.
