“HOTDOG” EUROPES BIGGEST CHILLI DOG IS NO WIENER AT 13,000 CALORIES

A restaurant famed for creating the 3lb cheeseburger has unveiled its latest culinary challenge – the largest chilli cheese hotdog in Europe. At over a metre long and filled with 1.5 kilos of beef sausage, plus a whole pound of homemade chilli and lashings of cheese the Monster Dog at Smokey’s Joint, in Walsall, weighs in at an estimated 13,000 calories – enough to feed a man for three days. The gastronomic monstrosity is the latest in what the eatery hopes will be a long line of food challenges only to be attempted by the super hungry and the very brave. Director of Smokey’s Dean Key, 30, explained that the popularity of the restaurant’s so far unconquered Monster Burger led them to seek a new challenge to whet the tastebuds of its customers.
