Here is another appetizer for you. goes great with beer.
Drunk wieners. Cut dogs into 1-2 inch pieces. In a pot, boil the pieces in craft beer - I would use an IPA. Add Tabasco (liberally) or your brand of hot sauce and boil the beer down to almost nothing. What is left is a thickish beer/pepper sauce and hot spicy beer flavored dog to eat with a toothpick and your special Buffalo wings type dip. I like them really hot, so I use a lot of hot sauce (LA Gold) on mine. Texas Pete is good on them too. You can jazz up the recipe with hot mustard or horse radish.
We always used cheap cheap red hotdogs, but you could go gourmet and use brats or whatever.
Good luck with your beer and dog place. Why don't you call it BigDawg's?
Back in the 1960s I worked at T-Willie's Frostop on North State, across from Primos Northgate in Jackson. We served our hot dogs on Butter toasted new England rolls (Cut down the top of the bun). They were different and excellent.
This picture is a lobster roll on a butter toasted New England bun. Google it, there are lots of photos. Your bun provider can probably make them for you.
