Erica Stimaker, a 4th generation Alaskan, is the owner of Yeti Dogs– Alaska's most famous hot dog cart.
Found in Anchorage, she and her partner Dominick have been slinging everything from Alaskan reindeer sausage to rattlesnake and pheasant pet dogs for the last 10 years.
MUNCHIES routed their food cart to taste their popular pets and Coca-Cola onions and see how a winner of the best "National Hotdog" contest runs.

Alaska’s Famous Yeti Hot Dogs
I love how she says I couldn’t do it without him..and he says she’s the brains and he couldn’t do it without her….now that’s love
Love? Or a director?
Im clapping her cheeks bro
he has the money.. She’s an adult whos scared of bigfoot. This is probably just the guys mentally challenged cousin or something.
@Billy Yank yeah that modern woke relationship bullshit. She says partner and doesn’t fully commit so she feels better about cucking him on the weekends lol
@Joe Stalin im clapping your dads cheeks, boy
It would be so cool if Yeti would send them like a PR package so they could be rocking all their stuff in Yeti coolers
That would be cool but reality of the world we live in today some executive f*** at Yeti is probably wondering how they can sue the small business for using the name same name
@Ty Fi Leave to modern corporate lawyers to copyright the name of an generations-old North American folk legend…
@Ty Fi this is probably true sadly._.
She’s like Batman. She harnessed her fear to make it her identity.
U can’t be serious
that’s right on man 👍🏼
Cleaning up the mean streets of Anchorage. One hot dog at a time. 😜
Em BATMAN 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇😂🤣😅
I know LA is a rough place but this would be awesome to have around
Wow!!! Loving her, what a awesome accomplishment!!! When I finally make it to Alaska I’ll hunt the Yeti down…. I wanna try all of the dogs heh…
Now I want to make a road trip from Atlanta to Alaska just to try those dogs.
If you visit Denali National Park there’s also a great foodtruck there that has awesome tacos, burgers and other stuff. When I worked there 4 summers it held us down.
In Atl rn just dreaming
Alaska would love to have you.
Lived in Anchorage for 2 1/2 years and missed this. Anchorage has a great food scene for not a big city, at least by lower 48 standards.
As always great video from munchies. Nice story. The work they put into that work van was amazing. Definitely great looking and not to be forgotten. Exactly what you want a food truck to do.
ready for the bite? professional… mmm, this one did not squirt me with cheese. LOVE ERICA!🌭❤
couple goals to me. husband is the goat. working his job and still finding time for her love. they both deserve each other
I’m scared of hotdogs bc I don’t eat pork hard ta tell wats in it hopefully next year I’ll get to try it beef 🥩 style
Rattlesnake and pheasant?! Oh my God that sounds awesome
This made me hungry
I live in Anchorage and have visited Yeti Dogs many times it’s always the Buffalo sausage or the Reindeer sausage both great every time.
A tip for everyone:
Never ever watch Munchies when its 2am and your stomach is already growling with hunger.
@Alpha Sam @Alpha Sam lmao i ended up putting some fries and fishsticks into the oven. Rip my self control😂
Rookie move bro.
This is crazy! I’ve followed her on Instagram for like a year and half. She even messaged me back about me starting my own hot dog cart in Northern California! Badass chick!!! Love this!! Can’t wait to have my own cart!! Keep killing it girl!! You’re inspiring!
Nice!! What part of nor cal?
Hope all is going well with you! Hot dog slinging can be a dream come true.
I’m in Alaska and I’ve never heard of these until now, but I’m definitely going to try them on my next trip to Anchorage!
they don’t microwave well, unfortunately
@Lucas Bridges did an explosion happen?
This looks amazing! I Love me some good street food!
In a world that thrives on instant gratification it’s nice to see how they continued to persevere and show up. They didn’t buy a fancy truck, they built it. Those hot dogs get marinated in sweat equity
Oh man. We are absolutely flabbergasted. Thank you Munchies for including us in this Street Food Icons video. It was a true honor for us. Also, thank you to everyone who has gotten us this far. It’s all thank to you ✌️❤🌭

@GTXEZ the hot dog is only 4.50. The 6 dollar is their special sausages
