Shaggy Dog (Frito chili pie + hot dog)

A “Shaggy Dog,” as served at the Texas Chili Parlor at the State Fair of Texas, is a hot dog topped with a Frito pie (Fritos corn chips, chile con carne and cheese).  The “Shaggy Dog” dish has been served at the State Fair since at least 2007.

More important, said Chili Parlor was advertising something called a Shaggy Dog. It is a chili cheese dog (good chili, by the way) covered with Fritos. After I took a bite, I felt like Elaine on the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld. I had to sit down.

8. Shaggy Dog: This is a Nathan’s beef casing-free hot dog (regular or foot-long length) topped with a Frito chili pie. Why don’t more people marry hot dogs with Frito pies? It works. You’ll find it at the Texas Chili Parlor inside the Coca-Cola Food Court.

Is this our official food of the State Fair?
 
“And then there’s the Shaggy Dog (12 tickets/$6 regular, 14 tickets/$7 footlong). This is a Nathan’s beef casing-free hot dog (regular or foot-long length, topped with a Frito chili pie. We’re amazed no one ever thought to combine the bread and meat combination of a hot dog with a corn chip, cheese and chili combination of a Frito pie before. It works. You’ll find it at the Texas Chili Parlor inside the Coca-Cola Food Court.”
