We tried that Yankee fan’s ‘hot dog beer straw’ hack: Genius or just gross?

elicited mass online vomiting after a now-viral video exposed him sucking beer through a hollowed-out hot dog functioning as a straw.Like many thousands of confused viewers, we weren’t sure what this wannabe junk food MacGyver’s goal was: Maybe the unidentified man simply lacked a straw — or perhaps he couldn’t be bothered to invest time in eating a frank and swilling a brewski separately?The mysteries abound. However, as hot dog-loving New Yorkers, The Post decided to put our arteries on the line and replicate this ballpark Frank-en Brew experiment at home.
Who knows, it could be the next big TikTok food trend, right? So, we procured two of NYC’s signature “dirty water” dogs from a nearby vendor and bopped into a bodega for a six-pack of Pacifico beer. Grand total investment: 10 bucks and some spare change.
Then we got our hands on one of those increasingly rare “classic” drinking straws and a sippy cup of sorts — and got to work improvising a meat straw. As per the original video, we inserted said straw into the tubesteak with catheter-like precision to core a hole through which the suds could flow.
Note: We advise buying two franks as one will inevitably get mutilated during sausage surgery — which was the case with our experiment. Then we filled a cup.Ready, set, suck! Well, this epicurean aberration tasted exactly like it sounds: Like good beer refracted through a speedball of sodium and miscellaneous pig parts.
To sum up, brats and beer are great on their own — but be sure not to combine these ingredients in this fashion, or you’ll end with a high-octane Hydra of horror. Think of it like culinarily splicing orange juice and gasoline to create napalm a la “Fight Club.”A post shared by Nicolas Heller
