This One Unique Restaurant In West Virginia Will Give You An Unforgettable Dining Experience
West Virginians are sometimes sensitive about the hillbilly stereotype, but the folks at Hillbilly Hot Dogs are in on the joke. And they serve one of West Virginia’s favorite foods. This Lesage restaurant has been a destination for more than 15 years. Take a look to see why:
Sonnie and Sharie Knight opened Hillbilly Hot Dogs on the Ohio River in Lesage in 1999.
This is the “coal miner” hotdog, which is a deep-fried dog with homemade chili, mustard, onions and blackening seasoning, and the "taco dog," with nacho cheese, jalapenos, chili, lettuce, tomatoes, picante, sour cream, cheese and chips.
One of the restaurant's favorites is the 15-inch “Homewrecker” hotdog. The dog comes with jalapeños, sautèed peppers and onions,
nacho cheese, habenero, chili sauce, mustard,
slaw, lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese, piled
high on a 15-inch, 1-pound all-beef weenie in a bun.
If you can finish it in under 12 minutes, they’ll give you a t-shirt.
