Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star Paul Skenes dropped by the Sheetz in Shaler on Tuesday morning to debut the Big Glizzy, the convenience store's new extra-large hot dog.
🌭 The intrigue: The new menu item is inspired by glizzy, online slang for a hot dog, and Skenes said its massive size won't leave you wanting more.
🇺🇸 What they're saying: Skenes served samples to select fans inside the Sheetz, saying, "There's not much more American than eating hot dogs at 10am."
🍅 Zoom in: He said he prefers just ketchup on his dog.
- Skenes, at 6 feet, 6 inches tall, said he could probably eat three or four in a sitting but would opt just for one.
- He said he wouldn't eat Big Glizzy before a game because he has a highly regimented warm-up routine, but he said it would be great for fans.
🧀 Dig in: The nearly footlong Nathan's Famous premium beef hot dog can be customized with eight different cheese options, 14 sauces and 20 toppings.
- You can order it as a Coney Dog (with chili sauce and shredded cheese) or as the All-American Dog (with ketchup, mustard and relish) at Sheetz's Made-to-Order kiosks.
💵 Cost: $3.99 and a bit extra for premium toppings.
⏩️ What's next: Sheetz Freakz can order Big Glizzies at all Sheetz locations starting Wednesday. The item will be available through this summer.
