All the fun stuff is illegal, immoral or fattening ... especially fattening

My Way News:
"[The Hamdog], a specialty of Mulligan's, a suburban bar, is a hot dog wrapped by a beef patty that's deep fried, covered with chili, cheese and onions and served on a hoagie bun. Oh yeah, it's also topped with a fried egg and two fistfuls of fries."

Alas, Decatur, GA, a suburb on the east side of Atlanta, is about 140 miles from my house in SC, so I don't think I'll be popping over to Mulligan's for a Hamdog anytime soon. While his menu includes healthy fare like salads, the article points out that Mulligan's owner Chandler Goff "admits "the 'Hamdog' and the 'Luther Burger,' a bacon-cheeseburger served on a Krispy Kreme doughnut bun, are what draw attention."

This reminds me of my college days in Charlottesville, VA. One eatery on The Corner, across University Avenue from The Grounds was The White Spot which had a large white dot painted on the floor, presumably so that those who were so drunk they couldn't stand up straight would know they were in the right place. The Spot served a generous bowl of chili and wasn't too stingy on the saltine crackers to go with it, but the great thing was heaping bowls of diced onions on the counter of which you could have all you wanted.

Under the C&O Railroad underpass and across 15th Street was a somewhat classier, and much larger, hangout - The University Diner. The UD's menu featured the one-eyed bacon cheeseburger (that is, topped with a fried egg), and the bacon cheese dog. But for desert, the piece de resistance was "grills with" - two donuts heated on the grill, then stacked on a plate and topped with a scoop of ice cream. That was fine dining.
