Waxman Staff Writer Mar 25, 2014 6:22 PM UTC In case you haven’t eaten lunch yet: a restaurant owner cooked up a hot dog that weighs 125.5 pounds at the Miami-Dade County Fair in Florida last week, hoping to set a new Guinness World Record for world’s largest hot dog. [_The Miami Herald_ reports](http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/03/22/4011341/worlds-largest-hot-dog-gets-grilled.html) Brett Enright, owner of Juicys Outlaw Grill in Corvallis, Oregon, made it on a grill that was 100-feet-long. The wiener was 51 pounds on its own, and the rest of the weight came from the bun, mustard, ketchup, relish, and sliced onions. It was cut up, and each piece was sold for $1 to benefit an organization that provides services for the homeless.
