Dogs inside this door this Sunday

Over the past few years, Beijing has seen the rise of burger, burrito, and pizza options. Now, we see more spots focusing on hot dogs, a product memorably defined by H.L. Mencken as “a cartridge filled with the sweepings of abattoirs.”

Maggie’s (map) has long been considered by many as providing the city’s best tube steak but the past year has seen spots such as No More Bunz (map), Bar Uno, and the corner near Shooters (map) get into the scene. And two more are slated to open in the next month.

The people behind establishments such as Muse and Alfa are slated to open Cosmos Hot Dogs (map) on June 28 in the southern entrance of Tongli Studio, with a deck / lounge just outside the door. The plan is to offer two hot dogs and a Tsingtao for RMB25.

Meanwhile, as mentioned several times, Chad Lager and Kevin Zhang will open Stadium Dog, which aims to offer more than a half-dozen kinds of hot dogs, at Workers Stadium (map). Stadium Dog will be paired with a “speakeasy” called Fubar and is projected to open in the first half of July.
