The Haute Dog

Friday is National Hot Dog Day. And a New York City landmark restaurant, Serendipity 3, plans to celebrate by doing what many a baseball stadium has tried to do in the past: sell the world's most expensive hot dog.

The extravagant hot dog, dubbed The Serendipity Foot-Long Haute Dog, will sell for $69.

The Haute Dog will be topped with medallions of duck foie gras with black truffles, caramelized Vidalia onions, heirloom tomato ketchup and, of course, mustard (Dijon, with black truffles).

I don't like foie gras, ketchup or mustard. So, sadly, no $69 hot dog for me.

This would be the eatery's third Guinness World Record, joining the world's largest hot chocolate and the world's most expensive sundae: the $1,000 Serendipity Golden Opulence Sundae.

The sundae offers dessert lovers three scoops of Tahitian vanilla ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla beans, covered in 23-karat edible gold leafs and surrounded by a Grande Passion caviar, Amedei Porcelana chocolate, and other luxurious delicacies. It's served in a Baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18-karat-gold spoon.

I'd eat the hell out that sundae, though. If it didn't cost $1000, of course.
