Proper
Dogs
Split lengthwise. Seared on the flat top. Served proper.
Our Technique
The Split & Sizzle
The Butterfly Split
Every frank is split lengthwise — butterflied with precision so it opens flat, doubling the surface area for maximum contact with the grill.
The Flat Top Sear
Pressed face-down on a screaming-hot flat top. The split side develops deep, caramelized char marks — crisp edges, juicy center.
Served Proper
Nestled into a toasted brioche roll, topped with curated ingredients. No fillers, no shortcuts — just a proper dog done right.
Our Story
About Proper Dogs
Proper Dogs was born from a simple conviction: the hot dog deserves better. Not reinvented, not deconstructed — just done properly.
We start with premium, all-natural franks — no fillers, no mystery ingredients. Every dog is butterflied and seared on the flat top until the edges crisp and caramelize. It's a technique that transforms something familiar into something exceptional.
Our menu keeps things focused. Quality buns, curated toppings, house-made condiments. We believe great food doesn't need to be complicated — it just needs to be made with care and the best ingredients you can find.
