Surf Dogs

What did the Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?

Make me one with everything.

It made us giggle.

Boost your culinary karma by taking up this Big Deal at the new Surf Dogs on Kilmarnock Road in Shawlands.

Taking its cue from the vast variety of gourmet hot dogs available in the States, Surf Dogs elevates the humble hot dog to a whole new level.

The Kilmarnock Road shop opened in May having previously run as a pop-up at various locations and events across Scotland over the past few years.

Retro film memorabilia adds to the US of A theme.

Sit in or takeaway

The Big Deal is for two dogs and two portions of skinny fries. It is available to sit in or for takeaway.

Sit in is available from 3pm to 8pm, Tuesday to Friday.

Takeaway is available from 3pm to 8pm, Tuesday to Friday and from noon to 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Decide on a dog

There are more than a dozen dogs to choose from.

They range from the classic Surf Dog – Bavarian smoked pork dog, fresh, locally baked soft torpedo bun, caramelised onions – to options like the Bob Marley Dog made with Jamaican jerk chicken, slaw, caramelised jalapenos and mango mayo sauce.

More than half of the dogs can be served in vegan or veggie form.

What they all have in common is that they are loaded with toppings and are best eaten when you don’t have a fresh, white shirt on. Hand wipes are provided though so not to worry your face and hands.

Happy dog-lovers

Facebook comments on Surf Dogs include ‘Soooo good xxxxxxx’ and ‘AWESOME’.

Paying rather more notice to conventional grammar, the Foodie Explorers blog ran a review which noted that ‘The juicy frankfurter was pretty substantial, the added toppings and soft bun made this a top dog’.

Surf’s up

Today’s Big Deal is a great introduction to Surf Dogs.

And with the option of sitting in or takeaway, it’s a very flexible offer.

Snap up this Big Deal and do the dog at Surf Dogs.
