A true West Virginia hot dog is a heavenly creation that begins with a wiener on a bun. Add mustard, a chili-like sauce and top it off with coleslaw and chopped onions and you have a symphony of taste that quite possibly is the reason that many transplanted West Virginians can never really be happy living anywhere else. Different parts of West Virginia have variations on the theme but the common elements are sweet, creamy coleslaw and chili. Anything else is just not a true West Virginia hot dog!

This site is dedicated to honoring and expanding awareness of this culinary delight and providing a home where fans of the West Virginia Hot Dog can find reviews of their favorite restaurants (aka Hot Dog Joints) in and around West Virginia.
