Golden Glizzy hot dog costs $100 and comes topped with caviar

A $100 hot dog known as the Golden Glizzy has been going viral, and the creator says it is actually a bargain for what you get.

Wild food collaborations are not exactly new. For years, chefs have been combining ingredients that shouldn’t really work together and coming up with some interesting flavors. Naturally, some of these come at an increased cost, with social media ultimately putting a spotlight on them too. 

That has been the case for the Golden Glizzy, a $100 hot dog from Golden Goat Caviar. That’s right, it’s a hot dog that will set you back $100, but you’re not just getting a weiner and a bun here. 

Instead, the $100 dog is made of Australian Wagyu beef inside croissant dough and comes topped with edible gold flakes, crème fraîche, Golden Goat Classic Ossetra caviar, and mascarpone. It’s a serious bit of food.

The dog has popped up at a number of sporting events, including the Miami Open and F1 Grand Prix in Miami and while you might think the price tag is steep, the people behind it believe it’s a bit of a bargain.

“People said, ‘Oh, wow, $100 hot dog,’ ” Keith Glickman, managing partner of Golden Goat Caviar, the company behind the Golden Glizzy, told the Wall Street Journal. “But a tin of that Ossetra alone sells for $120. So I joke to people: ‘You’re getting a deal here.’ ”

Glickman also praised the “craftsmanship” of the dog during an appearance with FOX News. “The debut of the Golden Glizzy at the Miami Open showed what happens when craftsmanship, indulgence and the right creative partners align — the response is instant and electric,” he said.
