From Helablog... The foot-long 'haute' dog is made from pure beef, grilled in white truffle oil, sandwiched in a pretzel bun imported from Germany, and toasted with white truffle butter.

(And if you haven't already or just need to bone up, check out our previous episodes on french fry dips and the Canadian gravy-fry-cheese curd delicacy that is poutine. /mark Photo: Flickr
