Imagine the rich, buttery flavor of a perfectly grilled steak—now picture it in hot dog form. That’s what you get with a Wagyu Beef Hot Dog . Made with the same highly marbled, premium Wagyu beef that chefs rave about, these dogs deliver a flavor experience that’s lightyears beyond your average ballpark frank.
Our hot dogs are created with a clean-label mindset: no artificial nitrates, no preservatives, and nothing you can’t pronounce. Lightly seasoned with natural spices and herbs, each dog is uncured, protein-packed (10g per serving), and bursting with savory umami in every bite. The texture? Juicy, meaty, and finished with that signature Wagyu snap that sets them apart.
Why the Food & Wine Shoutout Changed Everything
