Summary: In the UK (of all places), Pizza Hut has introduced the hot dog stuffed crust pizza, which is exactly what it sounds like. Just take a look at the picture.
Notable Facts/Ideas: The Brits aren't the innovators here. Apparently, this product has been available in Thailand and Japan for years.
Opinion: How did this not originate in America, you ask? Well, despite the hot dog's status as a defining American food, we've never really innovated with it much. We stopped around the chili dog, so other countries probably saw an opportunity with our favorite mystery meat and thought to attempt new things. Look, this idea grossed me out at first, but then I sat back and thought about it again. Pizza Huts in the U.S. need to adopt this as soon as they can, because what they've essentially done here is turned the pizza into two separate entities. The hot dog stuffed crust pizza is now a crust-less pizza surrounded by pigs in a blanket. To alleviate the gross factor a bit, people would simply have to just remove the crust from the pizza before eating. You can't tell me this wouldn't sell here.
That said, still a crazy idea. The hot dog stuffed crust undoubtedly deserves a hearty "What the heck, man?".
