Where to buy ¥100 hot dogs
The Kobayashi segment of MTV’s True Life documentary highlighted the difficulty that Japanese competitive eaters preparing for Nathan’s have finding American style hot dogs. This plight appears to have lessened somewhat since that program was filmed. On a shopping trip, palpus discovered a restaurant selling hot dogs for only 100 yen ($0.87) or 200 yen with a drink. After opening at the end of April, the restaurant has already become the most popular in its chain in the world. A second Japanese location will open in Yokohama before the end of 2006.
