🌭 Wiener Wednesday is back, and this week’s feature is the Chilean Dog.

Made with a dog from Pierce County Meats, INC, then loaded with avocado, grilled cabbage, diced tomatoes, and red onions. It’s fresh, messy, and absolutely worth wrapping your mouth around.

Karaoke starts at 7 PM. Grab a wiener, grab a drink, and get ready to sing like you mean it. 🎤
