Massive Wieners

October 11, 2014


We've been important to depository fiscal establishment represent out the veggie dogs at Massive Wieners for some fourth dimension - nosotros fifty-fifty wandered past times their one-time Greville Street store 1 Dominicus even out hoping for a cook solely to uncovering them closed, so this postal service has been a spell coming. Our motivation for visiting on this Sat afternoon was the gamble to sentinel a handful of our friends tackle the Massive Wiener Challenge - a race to swallow a 25 inch hot Canis familiaris inwards nether 5 minutes. You pay $15 for the privilege but tin earn a refund past times breaking the 5 infinitesimal barrier, along amongst a glorious house on the wall of fame.


My spectator condition was before long challenged past times the lastly infinitesimal cancellation of 1 of the competitors, important nosotros had 2 eaters booked inwards for iii giant dogs. I folded in addition to joined the ridiculousness afterward nigh xxx seconds of token resistance in addition to some taunting from the guy behind the counter. If you lot sign upwardly for the challenge you lot larn a fair fleck of hyping upwardly from the staff - manifestly 'tall dudes' induce got an wages in addition to the fundamental strategy is 'less chewing, to a greater extent than swallowing'. It was all rattling entertaining fifty-fifty equally it made me to a greater extent than in addition to to a greater extent than apprehensive nigh what I'd signed upwardly for.

And in addition to so the wieners appeared. As the store cite promises, they're pretty massive - iii sausages long amongst 1 giant bun in addition to a lubricating smear of ketchup in addition to mustard, it's an intimidating sight. The rules are strict: no tearing, no dunking, no folding - you've got to swallow this ridiculous monstrosity similar a regular hot dog. In the concluding few seconds earlier nosotros started I squished the bun a fleck in addition to sized the whole affair upwardly and, only for a second, wondered if mayhap I could create this - I hateful it's big, but it's non *that* big. And 5 minutes is actually quite long isn't it?


And in addition to so I took my starting fourth dimension bite. Nope. Nope, at that topographic point was no means I was going to larn through this inwards 5 minutes. The curl is chewy - I recollect my starting fourth dimension mouthful took upwardly most of my starting fourth dimension minute, in addition to past times the fourth dimension iii minutes had passed in addition to I hadn't fifty-fifty got about halfway through. The whole experience was made fifty-fifty to a greater extent than intense past times having Ivan correct inwards my trace of piece of occupation of sight, calmly keen his means through all 25 inches inwards only 4:28 without fifty-fifty raising a sweat. (Side note: the tape for 1 of these is an incomprehensible 2:16, presumably achieved past times some kind of remorseless eating machine.)

Meanwhile, I struggled on, finding the gigantic hot Canis familiaris less in addition to less palatable equally I went - the lastly 3rd was basically disgusting in addition to solely eaten through forcefulness of will. I was happy to squelch inwards nether 10 minutes, but can't actually state that I 'enjoyed' the experience - it left me feeling bloated in addition to queasy in addition to swearing off hot dogs for at to the lowest degree the side past times side few weeks.

Cindy was much to a greater extent than sensible, opting to monastic tell from the regular menu. You tin lead 1 of iii sizes (little neb - 3 inch ($4), average joe - 6-inch ($6) or massive wiener - 12-inch ($8)) in addition to and so larn amongst either the classic (cheese, ketchup, mustard in addition to onions), the kraut (classic + sauerkraut, $1 extra), the pickle (classic + zesty pickle relish, $1 extra) or the chilli cheese (classic + a beef or edible bean chilli, $2 extra). They've got vegan cheese at no extra accuse in addition to you lot tin also add together extras similar diced tomato plant or jalapenos for $1 more.


Cindy went direct downward the trace of piece of occupation - an average joe-sized classic minus the onion ($6) in addition to a piddling vanilla milk shiver amongst added malt ($4  + $1 - at that topographic point are no vegan shakes on offering only now, but they assured us that they're working on it). The Canis familiaris was pretty basic - the full general consensus was that the wieners were the Sanitarium build that are widely available inwards supermarkets in addition to the buns were lite in addition to a fleck chewy. If you're only going classic, you lot tin likely create something equivalent at dwelling without trying rattling difficult - I'll live interested to gustatory modality the pickle relish or the chilli cheese options when I eventually experience gear upwardly to seem upwardly some other hot dog. The milk shiver was super sugariness in addition to non thick at all, a passable imbibe from Cindy's perspective.

Massive Wieners is a super fun store - the staff are enthusiastic nigh their hot dogs, the decor in addition to vibe is fun Americana (including bow-tied staff in addition to checkerboard floors) in addition to their card is uncomplicated amongst clear vegan in addition to vegetarian options. I can't inwards skillful conscience recommend the challenge though - it likely took vi months off my life in addition to I withal injure upwardly on the wall of shame.
