This is the Pickle Dog. It’s a hot dog inside a pickle, then battered and deep-fried like your average corn dog.
Discovered by Jeff Miller and Meg Strouse of Thrillist during their trip to the OC County Fair, the franken-pickle is only part of what’s to be expected at the yearly event. And, it’s usually a lot of deep-fried things that shouldn’t be and guzinda foods such as this one.
