A place to discuss the uniquely delectable gift from heaven known as the West Virginia Hot Dog.
Well, today marked another WV Hot Dog Festival at Pullman Square in downtown Huntington.
This year, I couldn't be bothered.
Let's look at who wasn't there, according to the Herald-Dispatch:

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!

Sam's was there and I saw the owner of Knuckles (patron). It is what it is, stop hating so much!
Actually, Sam's Hot Dogs was at the WV Hot Dog Festival, as was Frostop Drive-In, Stewarts Original Hot Dogs, Midway Drive-In, Charlie's Harley-Davidson Diner, and new this year from Webster Springs, WV--the famous Custard Stand Hot Dogs...along with others. I'm sorry you missed it. Everyone seemed to have a good time, hot weather and all. Hopefully, you'll visit the festival again next year. :)
hello. i was visiting relatives and could have gone to the festival but skipped it when i saw a previous post of yours. i am glad i didn't go. when you said many vendors didn't even have slaw, that was a big red flag to me. is there a festival that truly captures the wv dog culture? i would like to know if there is. my favorite dog to date is from the parkway in logan, wv. thanks for any info.
