Gourmet hotdogs: a trend that stands out in the hospitality industry

When you think of gourmet hotdogs, think LA Streetfood. We are the trusted wholesaler for Smoky Mountains Hotdog Sausages, premium sandwiches, toppings, and sauces. Whether you're a distributor looking to expand your range across borders or a horeca entrepreneur seeking to offer something fresh and exciting, our products are the perfect fit!

The gourmet hotdog trend in the global hospitality industry

The hotdog trend has firmly taken root in the hospitality scene. Gone are the days of the basic canned sausage in a white bun. Today’s gourmet hotdogs are made with high-quality, traditionally smoked sausages like our Smoky Mountains Beef Hotdog and the halal Tennessee Dog.

These sausages are made from real meat, with a crispy skin and packed with flavor. Paired with the perfect brioche hotdog roll, like the Haute Dog Roll, and topped with sauces like Cheddar Cheese Sauce, Red Root Relish, or Tomato Relish from Ballymaloe, our hotdogs provide a foundation for endless culinary creativity. Your chefs can transform this simple dish into a show-stopping gourmet experience with unique toppings and flavor combinations.

Why hotdogs belong on your menu

Here’s why premium hotdogs are a hit in restaurants, cafes, and lunchrooms worldwide:

1. Affordable yet premium: A gourmet hotdog (90-100 grams) is lighter than a premium burger (usually 180 grams). This makes it a great option for lunch, snacks, or late-night service. And with a lower sales price, you can cater to a wider audience while still offering a high-quality product.
2. Quick and easy to prepare: Hotdog sausages can be kept warm in a bain-marie, making them quick to serve. Simply crisp the skin by placing them on a baking tray for a few moments before serving. It’s one of the fastest ways to prepare a flavorful dish.
3. Perfect for creativity: The gourmet hotdog is a fantastic canvas for chefs to showcase their creativity. Whether you’re topping your Smoky Mountains Beef Hotdog with Bacon Jam, Hemp Sauce, or Tropical Mango Relish from Ballymaloe, the possibilities are endless. Serve it with Fried Pickles for a fun twist, or go for the bold flavors in the California Sunshine hotdog.
