"Bæjarins beztu pylsur , which humbly translates as "the best hot dog in town," is a simplestand in central Reykjavík whose popularity over the decades has given it a kind of cult status. Almost everyone in the country has eaten here, as have visitors including Bill Clinton and Metallica singer James Hetfield. In business since 1937, the standhas been instrumental in developing the specific Icelandic version of the American hot dog: a sausagemade from a blendof organic Icelandic lamb with pork and beef, and includestoppings and condiments like ketchup, sweet mustard, fried (and raw, if requested) onions, and a special rémoulade made from mayonnaise, capers, and herbs. Unsurprisingly, the stall is at its busiestin the small hours of weekend mornings, afterthe bars and clubs close."
