Scope and content
A three-foot-long hot dog was served up at the B&I store at 8012 South Tacoma Way to two hungry unidentified youngsters by owner Earl (E.L.) Irwin in November of 1953. For only 97 cents, the boys could gobble down the "world's biggest" hot dog. Although the hot dog came in a yard length, the bun did not and three separate buns were necessary to hold the enormous frankfurter.
