This Sasquatch-themed foot-long hot dog pop-up from chef Geofrey Redd (previously of Jones Brothers & Co., Rider, and Frankie & Jo’s) proudly slings “Seattle’s longest weiners.” Choose from options like the “Seattle Sasquatch” (a Seattle dog with a Tall Grass Bakery brioche bun, thyme caramelized onions, farmers cheese, and jalapeño relish) and the “Italian Chili Cheese” (bolognese, a grilled garlic bread bun, chives, and a mountain of parm). This particular event will also showcase two brunch-ready versions: the “Breakfast in Bread” (bacon, cheddar, scrambled eggs, and pickled red onions) and the “Missing Link” (sausage links, cheddar, scrambled eggs, and chives). Like a certain rare cryptid, these specials are elusive, so catch them while you can.
