The Texas Rangers baseball team stadium concession plans on selling the "Champoin Dog", a two foot, one pound hot dog, topped with all they usual stuff and they say it's meant for "sharing". When I see people sharing food, it usually is taking something from the same plate, not biting a piece that includes someone else's toothmarks (and residual fluids). I guess this must be their expression of a family meal.

Bacon a bit much? Too funny. IMO a missed opportunity for real memorable meal. I suspect they are leaving off the bacon because it is so difficult to share and might lead to violence in the stands (hey - you ate my bacon! punch!).The team is introducing the Great Dane of hot dogs: a 2-foot-long beast that busts the scales at one pound. The Texas-sized dog is also topped with sautéed onions, shredded cheese, jalapenos and chili and served with a side of French fries.
The Champion Dog, to be served at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, will reign supreme over the mere foot long dogs. At a price of $26, the entrée is meant for sharing with three or more people.

The inspiration behind the massive meal is the half-pound dog introduced during last year's World Series, which the Rangers lost to the Saint Louis Cardinals. After the season -- when a 3-pound pretzel was also introduced -- they wondered, "How do we top what we already did?"

Mattox said that one of the ballpark chefs recommended wrapping the hot dog behemoth in bacon.
"I thought that was a bit much," he said.
