I am on a quest.
A good friend and I are competing to see who can eat a hot dog in each of the 50 states of the Union, plus DC, first.
The contest began in 2004 on a trip to Arizona while watching a Diamondbacks game. As we ate hot dogs ordered from the concession stands, we realized the hot dog would probably be available in every state. Then we decided to see if it indeed was.
List of documented hot dogs in order of consumption. Non-US hotdogs are included but are not part of the competition.
A hot dog must be purchased and consumed within that state—can’t smuggle across state lines. Airports are acceptable, but interstate trains are not.
I gave a short presentation at Automattic’s 2015 Grand Meetup about the hot dog quest. You can watch it below. The video cuts off, but the ending was of a teammate magically having a hot dog on his person that I ate on stage for the Utah hot dog.
