French Fry Coated Hot Dog

Neatorama reader Sara saw our fried spiral "tornado potato" post … and raised us a french-fry coated hot dog on a stick! From Last Appetite blog:

If Coney Island witnessed the birth of the hot dog, Seoul in South Korea saw subsequent generations mutate into a an entirely new genus of animal. An animal coated in a skin of batter and french fries then presented deep-fried on a stick. [...]

It turns out that Seoul is packed full of artisan hot dog vendors. Vendors wrap them in bacon, mashed potato, corn batter or what looked to be seaweed then invariably deep fry them. I spotted three french fry-coated hotdog vendors in the narrow alleys of Myeong dong alone and a few more in the neighbouring Namdaemun Market.

I had these when I was in Seoul. They’re about 1 USD and really yummy.

I like the shot of the cooked bacon-wrapped hot dogs sitting on top of the uncooked bacon-wrapped hot dogs. On a stick.

Buggers! I was actually in Seoul last week… I would have made a special effort to find these… there is only so much Kimchi you can eat.

If you’re not deathly afraid of “normal” hot dogs, I can’t even imagine the horror of what makes up one of these things for ingredients.
