Dish 1: Deconstructed Hot Dog

The Walking Weiner

A deliciously inventive twist on the classic hot dog! The hot dogs are finely sliced into thin strips, then deep-fried to perfection, creating a rich, golden-brown exterior while keeping the inside juicy and flavorful. They are served in a toasted hot dog bun, adding a slightly crisp base that compliments the fried texture. Accompanying the dish a tangy pickle chip, adding a crunchy, zesty bite that contrasts beautifully with the richness of the fried hot dogs.

The sauce—creamy mayo, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, and ketchup—provide a balanced and familiar flavor profile, each bite a mix of savory, sweet, and tangy notes.. 

This dish takes comfort food to the next level with its crunchy textures, and bold flavors.

Dish 2: Team Choice Tubed Meat (Sausage)

The One Herd Slider

This dish features tender elk meat seasoned with a bold and savory Cajun blend, bringing a zesty kick to each bite. The elk is perfectly complemented by a toasted pretzel bun, which adds a satisfying crunch and subtle maltiness. A smooth, creamy pickled red onion aioli ties it all together, offering a tangy and slightly sweet contrast to the spicy richness of the meat. Each element combines to create a mouthwatering, flavorful experience that’s both hearty and unforgettable.
