A hot dog joint in New York tried to beat the Guinness World Record for largest hot dog.
Feltman’s of Coney Island, the eatery credited with introducing Coney Island to the hot dog in 1867, said the potential world’s largest hot dog measures 5 feet long and 2 feet wide and sits on a 5-foot bun created by Michael’s Restaurant of Brooklyn.
The hot dog was cut into smaller portions to be sold for $10.
Proceeds from the giant hot dog will be donated to the Headstrong Project, a non-profit that provides mental health care to combat veterans.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
