OK, July is National Hot Dog Month — not such a surprise, since Independence Day is in July, and that has to be the biggest day for picnics every year. So it makes sense that the folks over at Twisted Root Burger Co. would come up with a signature dog for the month.
What caught us a little off-guard — and mind you, the Twisted Root guys have always been kinda edgy, with their “Sofa King” campaign (food that’s Sofa King good … go ahead, we’ll wait) — is what they called their 12-inch specialty wiener: The Dirk Diggler Dog.
Sound familiar? Dirk Diggler was the porn name of the character played by Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights, a man with a prominent trouser snake that would rival TR’s frank … though, we assume, with less bacon and no bun. And like Dirk, it doesn’t sound like it’s good for you: A footlong chili Cheez Whiz dog with beer sauteed onions, jalapenos and bacon bits on a poppyseed bun. We’d add mayo on the end … you know, just to complete the picture.
Jalapenos and bacon on a hot dog? That is SO gross!
Must say this is one huge wiener and it is all that too. Great taste and alot of food for the money not to mention I washed it all down with a few glasses of the awesome watermelon tea they have as-well… A must for any all beef kosher hotdog lover……
Cannot wait to try. Everything from Twisted Root is pure GREATNESS!
