I can't imagine how someone would eat that while balancing it on their lap and holding a beer/soda in one hand while in their low, shitty seat at a baseball stadium.
 
It always amazes me the dumb shit people will drop near $30 for.
 
I'm rather intrigued by the massive Potato bun.
Color me interested.

I think I know what is for dinner tomorrow night.
 
The Boomstick is old news. This years new hotness is the Murph-a-dilla!

Murph-A-Dilla: A 24-inch quesadilla, topped with beef brisket, lettuce, tomatoes and jalapenos, served on a bed of Nacho Cheese Doritos; named as a tip-of-the-cap to Rangers outfielder David Murphy and his favorite snack.
"Strike out your arteries with the Murph-a-Dilla!"

I assume next years new item will be a Sushi Roll the diameter of a telephone pole named after Yu Darvish.
 
It looks good, but I hate how jacked up the prices are at sporting events. That thing probably costs about $4 (or probably less) to make, then multiply the price times 6.
 
While the original photo isn't too appetizing, it does make me want a good hot dog. What's the best chain or restaurant to get one at? James Coney Island is one of my guilty pleasures but sometimes wants a little more quality.
 
People are outraged by the price? Is stadium food cheap in the US? Whenever I go to an NHL game, I pay around $9 for a burger and $12 for a pint of beer, so this doesn't seem that insane to me.
 
How could anyone that enjoys food, say that looks great? It's all low-quality, frozen food shite. Maybe 3 dollars worth of food sold at 10 times the cost. It should be illegal for a company to extort people like that in an enclosed setting. Yet we all willingly bend over and pay the prices.

wienerschnitzel or nathan's are the only two chains I know that specialize in hot dogs
 
Named after the bat used by Texas Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz, the $26 Boomstick is a 2-foot all-beef hot dog, smothered in chili, nacho cheese, jalapenos and caramelized onions, all on top of a massive potato bun. The whole thing weighs in at 3 pounds.

I wouldn't mind a normal sized version of that. Still, I know if it I ate it I'd be spending my whole time at the game in the bathroom.
