Back at the most famous hotdog stand in the world

The world’s most successful hotdog stand is not, as many would assume, in New York City: instead, it is in the heart of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.

The small business, Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur – which translates from Icelandic into English as “the best hotdog in town” – reached global fame in 2004, after President Bill Clinton visited Reykjavik and stopped for a hotdog.

I have visited Iceland many times, it is one of my favurite countries in the world. When visiting Reykjavik I always make sure to pass by Bæjarins Beztu. So also this time.

There is always a queue to the hot dog stand, always.

Are these the best hot dogs in the world? Many people think so. Tripadvisor rank it as 5.0 (!) and it has sveral tears been the most populR tourist attraction, a strange thing in itseöf on an island with vulcanos, geysers, waterfalls, blue lagoons and a spectacular environment.

Many celebrities have visited Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur. Bill Clinton, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, James Herfield, Ben Stiller, Ella Fitzgerald and so on. They have all been here to eat the worlds’ most famous hotdogs.

The Kardashian sisters recently had their donner at the hot dig stand when visiting Iceland.

Anthony Bourdain, the American celebrity chef, author, and travel documentarian who starred in programs focusing on the exploration of international culture, cuisine (and sadly passed away) did recommended Bæjarins Beztu in his show after a trip to Iceland.
