In what seems like a concern straight from 2019, there is a new food at Disneyland that has completely overtaken the internet: a “pickle dog” that is part corn dog, part hot dog, part peanut butter (more on this later), and all fried. It is, in short, the kind of frankenfood that sparks intense debate between the people who must eat it at all costs, and the people who are absolutely horrified it exists in the first place.
Obviously, I had to try it.

The pickle dog in question is available at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs in Downtown Disney, and is accessible to the public. It’s a hot dog on a stick, inside a hollowed-out pickle, which is then dipped in cornbread batter, coated in panko breadcrumbs, and deep fried. The pickle dog comes with a side of peanut butter for dipping and a bag of chips for $13.
Each is made to order, and let me tell you, the woman making them was working hard, fighting a battle against a long line that just grew as the day went on.
There are those who can’t understand why someone would invent this food, but to me, this treat makes total sense. Disneyland’s giant $3 pickles and its $10 corn dogs are two of the park’s most beloved foods. Under the Joey Tribbiani Principle that I just invented — take “Custard, good. Jam, good. Beef, good.” and substitute food variables as needed — this offering, before I tried it, seemed like it was absolutely going to work.
Did it work? I don’t know, you’re just going to have to keep reading. Read more from SF Gate.
