The ‘wienery’ is located behind her delicatessen ‘Sam’s Place’ on 188 Hunter St. W.
“We truly had an empty space between our new kitchen and the sandwich shop but it wasn't really usable for anything so we thought why not give this a shot,” said Sayer, Sam’s Place Deli and Wienery owner.
The soft launch runs from Tuesday until Friday from noon to 6 p.m. There are seven selections of hot dog combinations that the place is offering during the soft launch. Customers can also dress their own plain or special combination hot dogs. Beef, pork and beyond meat wieners are options available for any hot dog. Pogo corn dogs are also on the menu.
“The beef hot dogs are actually American, so those are Nathan's. They're world famous of course. We've got Wagner's dogs which are pork dogs out of Toronto and then we have the beyond-meat bratwurst,” explained Sayer.
The following are the featured topping combinations for this week’s soft launch:
Dog River Dog: house-made vegetarian chili, cheese sauce, shredded cheese and green onion
Chicago Dog: Mustard, relish, onion, tomato, pickle, celery salt and banana peppers
Chou Dog: Creamy five-cabbage slaw
Dad Dog: Cheese sauce and shredded cheese
Poutine Dog: Empire cheese curd, vegetarian gravy and Hickory Sticks
San Fran Dog: Bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo
Sonoran Dog: Pico de Gallo, bacon, mayo, mustard and hot sauce
