Hot dogs have become an American staple. Recently, Feltman's at Coney Island celebrated its 152nd anniversary by attempting to break the Guiness World Record for the largest hot dog. They made a 5-foot long, 66-pound hot dog to achieve this title. And they succeeded.
The enormous frank was measured on Wednesday by Guinness officials, but it hasn't officially entered the record books yet. According to a Facebook post, Feltman's owner Michael Quinn expects that news to arrive in about 12 weeks.
Feltman's also sold the hot dog for $10 per slice, the proceeds from which will be donated to Headstrong Project which provides cost-free mental health care to post 9/11 combat veterans.
