A true mix of high-end and street cuisine, this foie gras corndog is an unlikely mix-up of epic porportions.
Selling for $10, far more than the average corndog, this is an upscale take on a good typically associated with carnivals and baseball games. Arguably giving fried food a better name, this creation may change the way people understand the almighty corndog. The restaurant responsible for the mash-up, Urbana in Washington, DC, has released some tempting-looking photos to promote the new item. Sure to create some buzz for the food joint, this is a bold, but headline-making endeavor by the company.
Intriguing and probably quite delicious, this upscale French food hybrid is sure to get plenty of attention on the web and will likely popularize the restaurant responsible for its creation.
