If roadside oddities and record breakers are your jam, Mackinaw City, Michigan has just the thing for you.
We were walking through town when this monstrosity came into view. At 63’ long and 15’ 2” high, this hot dog sculpture is the largest hot dog in the world made of spray foam.
According to the World Record Academy, it was created by Florida artist Ron Berman to perch atop local landmark Wienerlicious. We did not go inside but their website says they’ve been in business and serving signature dogs since 1916.
What do you think? Cool or over the top? Personally, this is the kind of thing I live for when I’m traveling – especially when they materialize without notice!
As long as it’s not at my house, it’s kinda cool.
Lol. I wouldn’t want it next door but it’s cool to see at a restaurant!
Yes, context is important. As I recall, this restaurant is right off the main highway, in a commercial touristy area, so definitely fun. Build it next door to the historic lighthouse and I’m somewhat less enthusiastic.
Traverse City has a shop with a giant box of chocolate fudge on the roof, maybe they should do a cross promotion? 🙂
Haha. I saw the giant fudge box too! That area of town is terribly commercial but I did enjoy the lighthouse.
This is good – “Personally, this is the kind of thing I live for when I’m traveling – especially when they materialize without notice!”
Thanks! It’s what keeps many of us moving forward and exploring new places. Have a great day!
