Best deal in Reykjavik!
Did I mention that this video was shot at what a U.K. magazine voted "Best Hot Dog in Europe?" Well, it's true, but you certainly wouldn't associate such a prestigious title with the dinky shack, called Baejarins Bestu, that serves up the precious weiners. The stand, unpretentiously nestled in a parking lot behind a pizza joint, might go unnoticed by passers by if it weren't for the crowds of hungry patrons that are always lined up for the cheap, juicy "pylsars." Hot dogs here contain a good percentage of lamb, along with the standard mix of cow and pig lips and rectal tissues. I didn't notice much of a difference in taste compared to normal Oscar Meyers, but my culinary cohort was able to detect the subtle departure from typical dog flavor. If you're wondering what transpired after I took that first, extraordinary bite, then you'll be excited to know that in addition to the chopped raw onion, I discovered a hidden layer of crispy, fried onion bits beneath my pylsar. Delicious! Also, the "brown gravy" I so expertly identified was actually a thick, spicy mustard, which was the condiment of choice for Bill Clinton when he visited the stand years ago. Now, customers who order a "Clinton" will accordingly receive a dog with the mustard only. So boring if you ask me.
