The Best Hot Dogs in Town are in Iceland
The quest of finding the best-tasting hot dogs brings joy to every frankfurter fan, and even though the best hot dog stand in Europe is found in the world’s most northern national capital, the determined weenie fan/explorer is not to be easily discouraged. Bæjarins beztu pylsur, which translates in English as “The best hot dogs in town” and often shortened to simply Bæjarins beztu, is a popular hot dog stand in central Reykjavík, Iceland and is dubbed as the best hot dog stand in Europe by the British newspaper, The Guardian, in August 2006. Located downtown near the harbor, Bæjarins beztu has been open since 1937 and tourists are said to be usually brought to the stand to taste what they often call “the Icelandic national food”. A hot dog and a soda cost 380 krónur and are normally ordered with “the works” – all condiments, or in Icelandic “eina með öllu” or “one with everything.”
