Weird Al reminisces about the 'Twinkie wiener sandwich'

Musician Weird Al Yankovic tells TODAY.com's Katie Quinn about his foodie creation, a bizarre mixture of twinkies, hotdogs, cheese, and milk.

"Just eat it!" Weird Al Yankovic sang to the tune of Michael Jackson's "Beat It," in his 1983 parody.  How about eating...a Twinkie wiener sandwich?  When I caught up with Weird Al in the TODAY green room earlier this week, he told me about this foodie creation he concoted back in his 1989 film, UHF.  Oh, the eighties.  

Yankovic described this dish in all its junk-food glory, but qualified that the wiener could be either a hot dog or a tofu dog.  I'm guessing that's a recent addendum: Yankovic has since become a vegetarian!
