"What happens next" Well, if it's a hot dog, and it gets cooked on HV / high current, then "what happens next" is you enjoy a tasty meal as long as you don't overcook it :)

I cannot quite tell what that is. Is it a balloon or a hot dog :P
Hot dog. Its hard to get a wire through a balloon.

Even if the thin wire was red hot it would not cook impressively.

Looks like time for an exploding wire, er, wiener.
Now thats more like it. What sort of energy and what sort of result?

well, with high enough energy, i would expect the wiener to just vaporize. and you probably want some sort of result. So, i would say <1kj, multiple firings, and a cooked wiener at the end.

At 1kj (=3kV on my cap bank) the wire explodes to the edge of the hot dog and it drops to the ground unharmed. At 2.6kJ (=5kV) this is the result. The hot dog just disappeared. It was just gone. I thought it must have just fallen out of sight but on a closer look this is what I found.
There were tiny pieces up to 30 feet away sprayed over my shed and driveway. Largest bit was thin and 3cm.
OK now for the prize. What happens if you put the hot dog directly on the electrodes and blast it with the same energy?

My vote, it will shoot away like a railgun projectile

I suspect not much, the 2kj would be let loose over a long time (I suspect low ms), ad 2kj of energy isn't a whole lot of heat when absorbed by a whole hotdog...
