As every visitor knows, no visit to Reykjavík or Iceland, and certainly no culinary tour of the country, is complete without a visit to the historic hot-dog stand Bæjarins Beztu, by the old harbour in downtown Reykjavík. Kim Kardashian therefore stopped at the hot-dog stand yesterday to taste what Bill Clinton once famously called “the best hot dogs in the world”.
But just like Clinton, Kim Kardashian took an extremely picky, or safe approach to the hot dog: Bill Clinton ordered his with only mustard. According to Skúli Þórðarson, who works at the hot-dog stand Kim Kardashian ordered a hotdog with just ketchup.
Skúli told the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service RÚV that Kim didn't order the hotdog herself, but had a member of the entourage place the order while she stood by.

According to Icelandic hot-dog etiquette you can leave out one condiment, or order a hot dog with additional amounts of a second.
Leaving out four of the five condiments is generally only done by children or people who are extremely picky eaters. As well as world leaders and foreign Reality-TV stars, it seems.
