Po Dogs officially opened for business this weekend on Capitol Hill. Owner Laura Olson might just revolutionize Seattle’s nonchalant attitude about hot dogs, the mindset that they’re only bought right outside sports stadiums and after shopping at Costco. These are not your average wieners, ranging in price from five to seven dollars.
Her menu features twelve signature gourmet hot dogs all on Macrina brioche buns, including the Deep Fried Danger Dog (bacon wrapped, deep fried), Texas Dog (Tillamook cheddar cheese, homemade onion crisps and mesquite BBQ sauce), Wasabi Egg roll Dog (deep fried roll wrapped dog, covered in a wasabi aioli) and the Dub’T Dog (crushed potato chips and cheese sauce) to name a few.
Customers can create their own made to order distinct hot dogs or choose from our internationally researched specialty dogs. From fresh mango, banana, bacon jam, sweet peppers or hot, our customers can choose from over 25 different toppings to make their hot dog unique, a taste that they can re-create whenever they stop by or make a brand new experience.
One commenter to the Capitol Hill Seattle blog pointed out:
I had the Classic Dog, Macrina Brioche bun (was amazing) ketchup & mustard. $4.97 (less than I pay for the guy outside of Neumos and with recognizable meat.
Things didn’t start off well for Po Dogs two months ago when the landlord objected to the mural they were planning to paint on the outside wall.
Happy Hour is 4:30pm – 6:30pm which includes mini dog sliders for $4.97 and beer from two to three bucks. This new wiener joint recently had a soft opening and Capitol Hill Seattle was there.
