  • 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.

    In Ireland we have footlong hotdogs called The Big Foot and they are amazing . Hard to eat a full one tho . Alaska is on my bucket list and when I get there someday.......I'm for sure getting a Yeti !!!!

    The truck is beautiful. Looks so smooth. Hard to smooth out the dents without any body filler and paint to cover it.
