Michelin-Starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten offers a $6 hot dog out of a cart outside The Mark Hotel in New York City. CNBC producer Chris DiLella compared this hot dog with one from a NYC street vendor. Which one wins the taste test?
French-American chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is one of the world's most famous culinary artists and restaurateurs.
But in addition to his empire of high-end eateries around the globe — including his namesake Jean-Georges in New York, which has a coveted two-Michelin-star rating — Vongerichten has a hot dog cart on Manhattan's Upper East Side that sells $6 franks.
I spoke with Vongerichten at his street cart, while reporting on The Mark Hotel's $75,000 per night penthouse suite — the most expensive in America. Vongerichten runs The Mark Restaurant there, and his hot dog cart is parked right outside.
You're probably thinking: Why would a world-famous chef have a hot dog cart? Hot dogs are Vongerichten's favorite NYC street food, so he and the hotel's owner came up with the idea.
"New York hot dogs are great," Vongerichten tells me. "But ours are better."
