The Guinness world record for the most expensive hot dog is the Dragon Dog which sells for CAD $100 (US $100.70, GBP £63.56) at DougieDog in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the longest hot dog; it measured 203.80 m (668 ft 7.62 in) and was made by Novex S.A. (Paraguay) at the Expoferia 2011, in Mariano Roque Alonso, Paraguay.
"We're putting a lobster tail, saffron, which is a very expensive spice. It comes in a little weird bag, it's like $66, I bought that, I made an aiello out of it and I've got some edible gold flake which gets sprinkled on top. It's just like a surf and turf theme. It's delicious," Julliano says.

Juiliano said he had the idea about a month ago to sell an expensive hot dog to raise money for homeless support nonprofit The One, Inc., also known as "The Van."
He tweeted his idea about a month ago, and his followers instantly started bidding against each other on "theONEdog." In an hour and a half, the price was up to $1,500. Juiliano said that he made it $1,501 because we are in Little Rock, and he is "clever like that."
