  • Erica Stimaker, a 4th generation Alaskan, is the owner of Yeti Dogs - Alaska's most famous hot dog cart.
    Located in Anchorage, she and her partner Dominick have been slinging everything from Alaskan reindeer sausage to rattlesnake and pheasant dogs for the last ten years.
    MUNCHIES trailed their food cart to taste their famous dogs and Coca-Cola onions and see how a winner of the best "National Hot Dog" contest operates.

    I'm from Seward, AK but have lived everywhere from Fairbanks, to Wasilla, to Seward. I moved to Washington in 2007 and have only been back home one time since. This video makes me want to go back another time so I can make a stop at this hot dog truck! The dogs look great and the owners seem really awesome.

    recently started usin carmelized onions on my dogs. it is now as critical as buns. takes 20 minutes to cook the onions down to a real carmelized point so I'll do or 3 onions during a cook. they'll last 2 weeks max in a cold fridge.
