Based out of Berkeley, top dog caters around the Bay Area serving up that nostaglic reminder of when food not only tasted great, but was fun. From small, intimate backyard parties, to large functions with thousands of attendees, we can do it all. Our flexibility allows us to tailor the event to your individual requirements.
How do you do it?
If you are not familiar with our selection, we can help you choose a menu of up to 4 delicious types of hot dogs with tasty sides and ice cold drinks to suit. To allow for those that are super hungry and just love our hot dogs (believe me, there is MORE than one in every crowd..!) we always bring extra.
An hour before service begins, our crew arrives to set up mobile grills, prep and condiment tables. We arrange any sides and a full condiment bar consisting of ketchup, 3 types of mustards, diced onions, relish, and heated sauerkraut. Finally, we cook your hot dogs to perfection and serve them on freshly toasted buns. No more stress, no more BBQ nightmares, you get to relax and enjoy the event!

top dog grew out of a boy's love of sausage, a staple in his German immigrants' New York home over the WWII years. Steaks? Tubesteaks! His paper route to a well-mixed neighborhood assured that Italian, Polish, even Hungarian sausages were soon no strangers to that developing appetite and palate. Nor had he far to go to a cart or stand offering kosher style "Franks", usually steeped but better off the griddle.
Goodness! With kraut n' mustard, please. Raw onions, ketchup (not "catsup") and mayo were unheard of on hot dogs. Burgers maybe ... oh, but that was far away and another day ...more
