A place to discuss the uniquely delectable gift from heaven known as the West Virginia Hot Dog.
The organizers of the Third Annual West Virginia Hot Dog Festival have got a brand new website with all of the information on this year's festival in Huntington. Check it out.
One word of advice: Mandate that all hot dog vendors have slaw. Either that or change the festival name to "The Huntington Hot Dog Festival".

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!

Yea, the folks from Sam's embarrassed themselves and their state last year with no slaw. Seesh.
I'm excited to see M & M back again this year, too.
I dunno what to make of NY & Tex-Mex style dogs, we'll have to see.
I went to a "Mex-Tex Cantina" in Germany a few years ago and ordered a "Mexican Hotdog."
It was a large brat wrapped in a stale flour tortilla. No toppings or fixings of any kind.
At least the beer to wash it down was good :)
I once enticed someone with "Hillbilly chips 'n salsa" and gave them saltines with yellow mustard...
