"A controversial corny-dog purveyor introduced an over-the-top $24 offering called the Corn Dog Queen: a deep-fried corny dog crowned with edible gold leaf meant to mimic a squirt of yellow mustard and painstakingly applied with tweezers and a paintbrush. The price also includes a can of sparkling wine as a pairing, and the item began selling via drive-thru on September 25, 2020. The stunt arrived amid a public family-feud lawsuit with the originators of Dallas’s iconic corny dog and appears designed to set the concept apart during the ongoing legal battle." - Amy McCarthy
