A place to discuss the uniquely delectable gift from heaven known as the West Virginia Hot Dog.
My original blog, the Charlestonian Blog, is open under new management. My old friend Charles wanted to try his hand at blogging, so I asked him to blog-sit for at least a while. I think you'll find his view of Charleston very interesting and humorous. He is one of the most hyperobservant people I know.

Welcome to the W.Va. Hot Dog Blog!
This blog contains Hot Dog Joint reviews from around West Virginia and serves as a discussion board for those reviews, as well as providing a space for general discussion of West Virginia Hot Dogs.
A true West Virginia hot dog is a heavenly creation that begins with a wiener on a soft steamed bun. Add mustard, a chili-like sauce and top it off with coleslaw and chopped onions and you have a symphony of taste that quite possibly is the reason that many transplanted West Virginians can never really be happy living anywhere else. Different parts of West Virginia have variations on the theme but the common elements are sweet, creamy coleslaw and chili. Anything else is just not a true West Virginia hot dog!

Had lunch at G.D. Ritzey's in Huntington today, and was excited to get a dog. Hadn't been there in a number of years, but I recalled I liked their food a lot. Anyway, got in line and realized their coneys came with cheese and sourkrout, and no slaw. Got a cheeseburger instead.
We'll have to put them on notice. Attention G.D. Rizey's: This is West Virginia! Make your hot dogs appropriately!
There, that'll teach 'em.
