You
may think of hot dogs as a particularly American food (until you recall
they were originally frankfurters), but Iceland is very proud of their
hot dogs. Both locals and tourists say you must try the hot dogs in
Iceland. So Fran Hoepfner and Cameron Scheetz had to go to Iceland to
try them out. Well, to be honest, they also went for other reasons, but
since airfares to Iceland are pretty cheap right now, why not? Fran
says,
It felt weird to prioritize a hot dog, to our
credit, a thing I maybe only otherwise prioritize if I’m at a baseball
game, but yeah, our final morning of the trip we went to Bæjarins Beztu
Pylsur—Bæjarins Beztu for short, obviously—which translates to “the best
hot dog in town.” It’s just a little stand right in the center of
Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland, that’s been open since 1937.
It’s also not just a tourist trap: The day we went the line was full of a
healthy mix of tourists and locals trying to get their dog on.

review of the famous Icelandic hot dogs at the A.V. Club.
