LA West Elite Event at Dog Haus Thousand Oaks

This was my first Unilocal event, and it was so much fun! I already knew that I love Dog Haus, cuz we have one back home. But I always tend to order the exact same thing, so it was so awesome to get to sample so much of their eclectic menu! They gave us sliders of two of their dogs, two sausages, and two burgers, plus provided drinks and dessert (omg we were sooooo full afterwards!). All the different and complementary flavour combinations is what makes this place so fantastic and unique.
I enjoyed getting to meet some fellow Unilocalers, and getting to learn a bit of the history of the venue and specialty dogs. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic, they sent us off with fun little souvenirs to remember the night. Can’t wait until my next Unilocal event!

Copied from the elite event posting but def. thought the business should get the recognition on their main page!
Oh boy, so my very first Elite Event!!! I’ll have to be honest my expectations were in the air, I’ve always heard mixed reviews about them but I mean common who are we kidding free food and free drinks. Haha don’t be ridiculous. In all honesty though, it was a lot more engaging then I was expecting and educational, which I really enjoyed.
Parking: Oh man you better use your GPS for this one folks. The lot is semi hidden behind the gas station and some corporate buildings. Note to self’s, don’t make any illegal u-​turn getting there and make sure you keep your eye out for the st. However, once you get into the lot, there is plenty of parking and room for you to frolic around if your heart desires.
Service: Honestly the service was outstanding. Everything was extremely organized and ran very smoothly. There was a total of 9 dishes that were served throughout the night. Each dish was explained both by the Chef (Michael Brown) or by Adam Gertler (Investor and Supplier). They really went into detail about each dish as well as described the process of how it got to that point. They discussed all sub options of each dish as well as each flavor profile they attempted to hit. On top of that the owners of the facility (Jack & Gina) were very inviting and made it feel like a home party instead of a business. Every person received their food at the same time as well as all dishes were cleared the second you finished. Not just that but they were extremely open to constructive criticism of any manner, whether it be food and/​or business related.
Décor: This place is pretty cool inside. They got that modern/​modern vibe going on in here. I think I just made that up, but they got recycled looking materials throughout, steel chairs, Edison bulbs, distressed wood tables (modern) as well as pictures on the walls of customers and staff along with their tags for twitter, insta, facebook, myspace, Friendster you know the usuals (modern). Hence the modern/​modern vibe (BOOM). On top of that everything was extremely clean and neat, not really one thing out of place!
Food: Now before I go into each item I had I will start by saying this place is not for the faint of stomachs. It’s defiantly a dive into indulgence and can do some work on your colon if you’re not careful.
****************Hot Dogs**********
SoCal: Oh boy this puppy was good. The skinless dog was supple paired up with the basil aioli and the crispy onions. The true kicker with this little guy was the arugula matching up against the Hawaiian roll!!!
Grand Slam: Honestly just get in my mouth good. First off anything with an egg on it is just sexy to me. I mean it’s a must must eat! Sorry went off a little bit but ya the smoked bacon mixed with the maple syrup siracha. It was like a bit of breakfast with a little bit of party!!!
*******************Sausages***********
Another Night IN Bangkok: No joke the flavor profile hit the food in Thailand on the head. The red currywurst is honestly amazing mixed with the Asian style slaw. This by far was their best balanced item of the night. All the items on their mixed exceptionally.
The Fonz: My favorite no question, probably cause it has pastrami, Italian sausage, and mozzarella cheese on it but who cares. Man they don’t skimp on the cheese either which is the kicker here. The silky richness is just outstanding. They really brought all 3 friends into this one for a party in your mouth.
****Burgers*****
The Ringer: Haha I’ll just keep this as simple as possible and let your brain decide (Smoke Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Onion Rings, BBQ Sauce). Your welcome
Ava Maria: This dish would be exactly how I’d order my burger when I go out (Sauteed Mushrooms & Caramelized Onions) heck ya I mean that should be on every dish ever!!! It really is simply delicious and the kicker for both burgers is they grind their own meat daily at all their locations. That’s how every business should handle their meat
********Sides************
Tots & Fries: Just gotta keep it real here, they had nothing special on either item. Just for a place to carry tots is always a premium, but they didn’t stand out in any way to me. But from a belly side I would def come to a place that has tots over fries any day!
**********Shake***********
Carmel Shake: If I didn’t have the possibility of getting diabetes from drinking this thing I’d have one on hand daily. It’s so good, rich and full of fat. Ya they add extra fat in this big boy for some more loving. You enjoy it, not sure when they’re going to be rolling that flavor out as it was a test pilot for us but seriously Best Over the counter prepped shake I’ve ever had (NO QUESTION)
Without question I’ll be going back, both for the food but the service and personalities of the owners here.
«Sign that work and release that»

This being my first Elite event (attending several UYE’s in SB) I was accompanied by fellow Unilocal buddy Jim K (thanks for stepping in last minute as my +1, so glad you could make it).
I’ve been so busy passing out menus at work and to friends, as well as to anyone within earshot, which entailed barging in on a private convo between two sales reps at Ralph’s grocery store yesterday talking about Wienerschnitzel, I might of been there to pic up lunch, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to recommend Dog Haus and sing their praises.
That in itself should tell you just how much I enjoyed my experience at Dog Haus, this establishment has success written all over it, not just because the food is good and the prices are amazingly affordable, but the customer service is off the charts FAB-​U-​LOUS!
Big round of applause to Brittany F & Chelsea P and the entire team at Dog Haus for putting together such a memorable event.
To the owners, thank you so much for having us and for letting us sample your fabulous food, I see a very long and prosperous future in front of you.
Chef Michael Brown thank you for executing both inventive and delicious dogs and burgers that keep our taste-​buds dancing to your beat
Adam Gertler who I admit I crushed on when he was a contestant on FOOD Network Star Season 4, the man is clearly passionate about food and his deep appreciation for the culinary word is evident in his descriptions of the items we were served.
Onto my reviews of the food… here’s the story of a grown woman who still has a Mother telling strangers how I used to call Hot dogs, «my doggies», those doggies usually consisted of a ton of ketchup and that was pretty much it, not very creative, huh?
20…err okay so it’s really 30+ years later my tastes have thankfully changed, and Dog Haus is not your standard hot dog joint, and their standards are hands down solid gold when it comes to providing fresh and flavorful food whether you are noshing on a Dog, a Sausage, or a Slider the flavors are not lacking in the least.
We started off with the Sooo Cali, which I’m going to say was my favorite, the dog was so flavorful, it was spicy yet not hot and it set a good pace combined with the toppings of avocado, tomato, spicy basil aioli and crispy onions.
Wait a second did we have the Scott Baioli? Where was I when this happened… I loved Chachi, I didn’t even get to do a Wah, Wah, Wah (you youngsters will have to youtube that),
Third we had the Grand Slam, I enjoyed this, while it would not be my first pick to order, that has nothing to do with the concept or the flavor profile, I just have to be in a particular mood for Maple syrup.
Sausages
We then ventured on to Chachi’s cousin «THE FONZ» (can you tell I love these names?)
which was a Spicy Italian Sausage, pastrami, and melted Mozzarella, this sausage dog in best complimented with a spicy brown mustard, so good!
Another Night In Bangkok — consisted of a spicy Thai red curry-​wurst, peanut sauce, Asian slaw, and crushed peanuts, this was delicious, I liked the coolness to the slaw against the Thai curry-​wurst.
Burgers–
Hands down my favorite was «THE RINGER» BBQ sauce, smoked bacon, cheddar cheese and onion rings… sign me up for another one!
AVA MARIA– Sauteed mushrooms, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, & mayo… now I’m not a big fan of mushrooms but even I can say the flavor profile was great.
Finished off by the best tasting Salted Caramel shake… oh how I love thee Dog Haus for having this dessert.
All in all I’m seriously pleased and so excited for the future to know that Ventura may be honored with one of these restaurants.

My FiRST Unilocal Elite Event West, and I had a blast! My good friend Anna J. Invited me as her +1, and we had an awesome time! I’ve driven by Dog Haus a few times before but never ventured in. I’m so impressed with their menu and the creativity involved in turning every day hot dogs, sausages and burgers into culinary masterpieces!
We first had the Sooo Cali which was my favorite. Loaded with fried onion, avocado, wild arugula, just the perfect mix of bitterness and creaminess. We tried a few other dogs such as the breakfast inspired Grand Slam and the Fonz. But my SECOND favorite had to have been Another Night in Bangkok. The Asian-​inspired hot dog was a hit! Asian slaw on top with just the right amount of spiciness. Absolutely perfect! I was also impressed with the burgers. The sliders were so juicy and full of flavor. You can tell they really took time to perfect each dish on the menu. Those Hawaiian Buns were the perfect amount of sweet to cut through the richness of the meats.
The event was SO well organized and loved talking to everyone! The owners, Chef, staff were all super friendly and really passionate. Of course seeing Adam Gertler from Food Network was the icing on the cake! He taught us so much about the ingredients and the way to enjoy each dish. Such a cool guy! I can’t wait to come to another event! And I definitely will come back to Dog Haus.

Gosh darnit! PUT ME IN THE DOG HAUS ANYTIME! Love love this elite event! Had a great time with friends and meeting the owners and staff at Dog Haus. Even meet a hot sexy guy from Food network Adam Gertler.
Adam, Michael (chef), Gina and Jack (the owners) where phenomenal. Explained everything about the place to details on the food we were served. We were served sausages, hot dogs and burgers. Oh yes drinks and dessert of course. But let me tell you about the food.
First let me tell you which dogs and burgers I liked. Sooo Cali, Grad Slam and Ava Maria. The others were One Night in Bangkok, The Ringer & Fonz. I don’t eat the dogs at the Dog Haus but I do eat the burgers here. And I do love them. They brought out one of my faves Ava Maria. Which has mushrooms, caramelized onions, cheese and aioli. My new favorite for dogs is Sooo Cali. Which I’m so glad I got to try at the Unilocal Event! I love the taste of avocado, arugula, aioli, crispy onions and oh that tomato. It’s one dog you gotta try.
Thanks Chelsea for a awesome time.
Great organization with the Dog Haus Crew.

Love the inventiveness of these guys, trying to launch in a very underserved space which is the gourmet hot dog! Lots of different flavors on the sausages and knockwursts. Love that they have beer too and milkshakes.
My only criticism of the product is the bun, which is a pretty crucial one. I just have never been a fan of Kings Hawaiian bread in anyway, shape or form, and that is what they use here. Bun texture is good, just the bread is too sweet. Didn’t see any other bun and not sure if they have substitutes or not. Very nice presentation and the staff was great! Really like the tater tots and fries reminded me of IN-N-OUT’s, which is just fresh potatoes fried, no McD’s food engineering.
Will definitely be coming back, but next time as a paying customer.

8÷25÷15: WOW! first of all, I just wanted to say THANK YOU Brittney F! Chelsea P. You did an AWESOME job running the event. I had so much fun with my gal pals/​Yelp buddies. Recently my kiddos shared a video called «Can You Hot Dog It?» it featured Adam Gertler from Food Network «Will Work for Food» and Chef Michael Brown where they created some very unique Haus Dogs just for Buzzfeed. After seeing that segment, I’ve been wanting to visit the Canoga Park location. Glad that I was able to make it out to his event to sample a variety of haus dogs & burgers that left me so full by the end of the night. I enjoyed the Sooo Cali Haus Dog but what stood out for me tonight was the Another Night In Bangkok Haus Dog. I loved the flavors of the peanut sauce, asian slaw, and crushed peanuts with a little kick of heat from the spicy thai red currywurst infused with the sweet Hawaiian Rolls very unique combo that left a memorable impression on my taste buds!
Definitely worth the drive out to T.O. Gina, Jack and the Dog Haus family did an amazing job making us feel at home. Thanks Unilocal & Dog Haus for the hospitality. Thanks Adam for sharing your stories and Chef Michael and your kitchen crew… what can I say, mah swelly belly was HAPPY & satisfied!

This was one of my favorite Unilocal Elite Events yet! Dog Haus really knows how to feed us Unilocalers well! There was so much great food, and education with it as well! I love that all their dogs and hamburgers come on Kings Hawaiian Bread! OMG to die for! My favorite was surprisingly the grand slam dog. It was a breakfast like dog, with and o we easy quail egg, bacon, and sriracha maple syrup. Amazing, I’ll definitely be back!

My 2^nd Unilocal Elite event with LA West! I had only been to one other Unilocal Elite event with LA West before this, and it was packed with tons of people where everyone was grabbing food off a common table, so I appreciated how this was a smaller and cozier venue where they served us while we were seated. Dog Haus actually shut their doors just for us to have a private event. Thank you, Dog Haus!
The swag on the table was awesome – I’ve already used my Unilocal earbuds at work today, and the Dog Haus baseball cap looks mega cute, so I can’t wait to wear it out! I was also totally stoked to get my first-​ever very own koozie! Yay!
Now onto the food… 6 sliders (2 each hot dogs, sausages, and burgers), plenty of french fries, tasty tater tots, all sorts of drinks, creamy milkshake to finish it off… and everything with Kings Hawaiian bread, YUM-​O! I love Kings Hawaiian bread and definitely got my fix here. I haven’t had tater tots since I was a kid… and these were way better than the ones from my elementary school cafeteria. Hot, crunchy, and delicious!
The tastings were a GENEROUS amount of food, and this Unilocaler ended the night fat and happy (and only sightly guilty for consuming all those calories… because it was totally worth it. ;))
I liked how Adam Gertler explained all the details about each dish, so we had a wee bit of time to digest between courses while each dish was freshly made. And then we could be informed enough to watch for the snap in the Sooo Cali hot dog and know exactly how each dish was prepared and what to expect. Although I don’t really cook, now I feel so informed about food preparation techniques, i.e. hot pan, cold meat, press the burger ball down to get the irregular edges that form the nice crispy bits, ha!
Totally surprised that the Grand Slam dog was skinless, because it looked NOTHING like the skinless hot dogs I’ve had before in Munich, Germany. Those were thin and pale and soggy-​looking, but the one here was fat and juicy and bursting with spices. And not only was each meat well-​seasoned, everything came fully loaded with a plethora of toppings. You couldn’t even see my Another Night in Bangkok sausage under all the peanut sauce, asian slaw and crushed peanuts on top of it.
The Hanger 24 orange wheat beer was their lightest beer on draft at 4.6% but still gave me a good buzz and was great to wash down my food with. I saw some people had water in a box, but too bad I didn’t get to try it. Hopefully next time.
All the food was pretty good, and the ambiance was awesome. I liked the décor and the high bar stools were actually pretty comfy to sit on. I had passed by the Dog Haus in Canoga Park last week but never got the chance to go inside, so I’m glad now I finally got to experience it thanks to Unilocal.
Since we were mainly sitting at our table stuffing our faces the entire time, I didn’t really meet anyone else besides the people sitting around me at my table. But it was nice to meet fellow Unilocalers Dan and Flo Jordan ;). And thanks to Davis N. for joining me at this event, now you’ve got the Unilocal bug, too! Haha… And thanks to Chelsea P. for running this event; it was nice meeting you! Hope to see all of you guys soon! SYOY! :)

Dog Haus brought it down! The menu is amazing! Who knew you could do so much on a dog?!
First let me start off by saying how much I enjoyed the hospitality! The food speaks for itself as it taste just as good as it looks, maybe even better but the overall feel of the place was friendly and inviting. Just a cool place to hang out, eat delicious food and maybe wash it down with a cold one. Ahh, that’s what I’m talk’in about.
We started the night with the SOOO CALI and from the very first bite I was impressed. The avocado, spicy basil arugula went so well with the haus dog I almost forgot it WAS a hot dog. This was a home run!
But wait, then came the GRAND SLAM! They crank up the taste buds on this one with the maple syrup sriracha, smoked bacon and fried egg, say what? Oh yeah, a special quail egg for tonight’s event otherwise the regular egg. This went well with my blondie beer and my palate wanted more. I took the advice of Adam Gertler to «pace yourself» because there was definitely more in store.
Behold it was time for ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK and by the grace of all things spicy and hot, this one got me shaking a tail feather in my seat! This gourmet sausage wasn’t messing around. Spicy Thai red currywurst, peanut sauce, Asian slaw topped with peanuts was so innovative I had to stop and smile. It brought the heat but also the cool from the slaw and the fusion was so original for a sausage it felt like I had a meal with a side of salad sweetly sitting on top. A definite favorite for me.
THE FONZ sausage arrives and I’m brought back to a college favorite with the pastrami & melted mozza oozing from the top of my bread. This was a nostalgic one for me, looking back on those days burning the midnight oil. The pastrami was perfect, juicy and savory and the aroma was classic.
THE RINGER is a take on the classic BBQ burger with onion rings, smoked bacon and cheddar cheese. An all time favorite young and old you can never go wrong with this one. Burger and sides all in one bite yes sir, I’ll take it!
My girlfriend mentions to me her favorite is the AVE MARIA and alas, I get to try it! Savory mushrooms, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese and mayo I was definitely singing Hallelujah! The sweet caramelized onions just melted and complimented so well on the burger. Just when I thought I was too full to eat another bite, this one was heaven sent and I had no problem finishing it. When it’s good, eat it right?
Dessert came in the form of a toasted cinnamon churro type bread nestled inside a thick, cool ice cream shake. Well there goes one belt notch down but so worth it. Chocolate flavor and my favorite salted caramel that happens to be from Straus Family Creamery. What a treat indeed.
I can’t wait to take my family and friends here. Everything was beyond my expectations. Nothing was greasy and I can really taste the quality of beef used in their sausage and burgers. Well done Dog Haus!
This event went off without a hitch as it was fun mingling, Unilocaling and getting to know the details in each item served. It was well organized by the Unilocal-​west team but most of all a great big HOLLA to Gina, Jack, Adam, Chef Michael, CJ and the Dog Haus posse who capped off the night in a memorable way from the quality of food to the execution to the delivery and presentation. You all rock! My hats off to you… Salud!

That has to be one of the coolest events I’ve ever been too! That was my first elite event I’ve been too and I hope to go to many more! We got to try two hot dogs, two sausages, and two burgers followed by a shake. Also on the tables were fries and tatie tots. I’ve come to this Dog Haus before and loved it! This time went above and beyond my expectations! It was so cool to learn about each thing we tried and what goes into each one. I finally got to try their burgers and I am so glad I did. I live two minutes from this location and have a ton of burger options near me. This includes Smashburger, in n out, red robin, Carl’s Jr., Stacked, Five guys, and many more but now I will be coming here for my burgers. Made on Hawaiian rolls that melt in your mouth, you just can’t go wrong! Still my favorite thing there is the Another Night in Bangkok. Can’t wait to go back again!

I loved the variety we got to sample! I use to drive to Pasadena for these dogs and since this Thousand Oaks location opened I’ve been stuck on the Little Leaguer and refused to try anything new off that menu it was a craving I had to full fill. Tonight, I’ve changed my mind… I sampled a variety and each visit will now be in rotations to what I had tonight.
1^st up was the Soo Cal– avocado cream topped a snap sausage with crispy battered onions… so creamy and crispy just amazing.
2^nd was the grand slam and this just might be my new addiction– maple sauce under crisp bacon, sausage with tator tots topped with a fried creamy egg. I can’t even explain all the flavors in every tasty little bite and it paired so good with the brown ale. ;p
3^rd sample was the bangkok — Thai flavors– just wow… my first bite was lemongrass, lime with peanut dressing with the thai spiced sausage, slaw topped with peanuts so many flavors in one bite… it was incredible.
Their tot’s…so crispy the best I’ve ever had and you can order them with chili cheese. After sampling slider hot dogs we got to also sample 2 slider burgers, the BBQ, Bacon, Onion ring Cheese burger slider– that BBQ sauce is fantastic. The sweet onion slider also was so good.
For dessert I somehow managed to drink up a Dutch chocolate Shake made with Fosselman’s Ice Cream and it came with a tasty churro for dipping! Love! I was full but never for an amazing dessert ;). Dog Haus really puts a creative spin on these dogs more than any other hot dog place.
This was a pretty cool event… I got to meet Adam Getler from the Food Network-​who described each hot dog we tried so beautifully.
Thank you Brittany for getting me in to yet another awesome event!

This was my first Unilocal elite event that I have ever been to and I have to say it was phenomenal. This restaurant hands-​down has the best hotdogs, burgers and milkshakes that I’ve had in a long time. Adam Gertler from «Next Food Network Star» and «Will Work For Food» was at this location showing us his different recipes that he has made available at this restaurant and they were all amazing. Take a look at all the pictures that I have posted and they are samples from the menu and they were all delicious. This Unilocal event was one of the best things I have done in a long time and I appreciate coming to it and for the Dog Haus I highly recommend you try that restaurant because there is no way you will ever be disappointed in any of the food items that you choose.

For my first elite event this is the best i have eaten here before and could not wait to come back, even as a «plus one» thanks to Rachael W!

Chelsea P. did a great job running the event too!

MY FIRST Unilocal ELITE EVENT!
After a long and strenuous day of work, I faced a big hour and a half drive up PCH (Highway 1) to get to Thousand Oaks for Dog Haus. The sun’s glares was intense, the views of the ocean were pretty wicked, and the traffic was occasionally bothersome, but I knew I would be reaching a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Firstly, I managed to pass Dog Haus accidentally since it’s hidden sort of behind a Shell gas station and kind of made confusing by adjacent business buildings. You have to turn on East Thousand Oaks and then immediately turn right into a cul-​de-​sac-​looking turnaround that connects to Dog Haus’s parking lot.
Anyways, I got there perhaps five minutes early and was met by a decent crowded of fellow Unilocalers and plus ones hanging out outside with awesome Unilocal nametags. My friend and I wrote our names down and then proceeded to walk inside and grabbed a booth.
Initially, no one really sat down next to us until some other fellow Unilocalers joined us. They were really really awesome and hilarious, and they really made the experience whole. Shout-​out to them – you know who you are!
The whole vibe was pretty cool with folks from corporate there (not the suits, really; they were casual) as well as regular employees and owners and managers (I’m assuming their titles, but it was of this gist). Also, surprisingly, Adam Gertler of Food Network fame was there, which was pretty awesome given that I remember watching him on The Next Food Network Star like a ton of years back.
We were ultimately served four hot dogs, two burgers, french fries, tater tots, and a milkshake to top it all off. Before each item, Adam or someone from the crew would talk in extensive detail about the process behind the dish, the ingredients behind it, or just what they love about it. You can hear the passion behind their words, and they truly had a mission to provide awesome service since everyone would visit the table to ask us how we were doing, what our favorite was so far, about the features of each Dog Haus location.
The food itself:
HOT DOGS:
– The Sooo Cali: tomato, arugula, basil aioli, crispy onions, tomato, and a bit of avocado. A pretty balanced hot dog with the right touch of greens. I enjoyed this one a lot since nothing was too overpowering, and it provided a certain freshness I wasn’t used to in a hot dog.
– The Grand Slam: probably inspired by the Grand Slam at Denny’s, this dog contains hash browns, bacon, fried egg (we were lucky and got quail egg – yum), tater tots, and maple syrup sriracha. I’m not a huge fan of breakfast after breakfast time, but this was pretty solid and not as dry as regular breakfast offerings. The egg was sunny side up and delicious and really pulled the whole thing together, and the bacon was cooked well enough to make it a pretty good option.
SAUSAGES:
– Another Night in Bangkok: following the fusion trend sweeping the West Coast (and I’m sure many other places), this creation included spicy red currywurst, peanut sauce, asian slaw, and crushed peanuts. Personally, this one didn’t hit home for me as much due to the overwhelming flavor combination (I tasted a lot of peanut and slaw), but if you’re looking for that kind of strong flavor palette, you can give it a shot.
– The Fonz: I really enjoyed the Fonz, which had hot italian sausage, pastrami, and mozzarella. The sausage was amazing and extremely flavorful, and the pastrami was really, really good. The mozzarella could have been a tiny bit more sparse, but I can’t complain at all about this one. When I come back to Dog Haus, I’ll probably order the Fonz.
SIDES:
– Fresh cut fries: the fries were thick-​cut, which is usually not my favorite, but these were REALLY good. I have no idea what kind of spice or seasoning or level of salt they used, but they were super flavorful, and I didn’t even need to dip them in any sauce or anything.
– Tater tots: Crispy. Awesome.
BURGERS:
– The Ringer: smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, onion rings, and BBQ sauce. By this point I was getting extremely full and so my taste buds weren’t as sharp, but I knew that if I ate this at the beginning I would have really devoured it. The bacon was, again, cooked well, and the burger was nice and tender. The onion ring had a nice crunch to it, and the BBQ sauce was tangy yet had a signature barbeque flavor.
– The Ava Maria: sauteed mushrooms, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, and mayo. I enjoyed the caramelized onions and mushrooms, but I did feel that I would ask for them to hold a little bit of the mayo for next time. Regardless, it was a solid offering, and I feel like I was just too full at this point to really accurately comment on it.
DESSERT:
– Chocolate shake: pretty unique flavor and texture. Not too rich, but definitely of moderate thickness. Hawaiian bun inside with cinnamon = awesome.
Running low on characters. This event was AWESOME. Great organization, service, people, food, everything. I love you, Unilocal

Had an amazing time tonight with my hubby at yet another awesome Unilocal elite event. The food was top notch. The service was top notch. The company was fun as usual and we ate to our hearts desire!
Cali dog, Grand slam dog, Bangkok dog and Ava Marie were amazing! Everything was made with the sweet Hawaiian bread yum! We also enjoyed their burger sliders — that BBQ sauce! Tater tots and fries. Salted caramel milk shake! Where do I even stop! The food just kept coming! So generous of Dog Haus in TO.
Also tried their spicy Dijon mustard and habanero chile sauce and it was hot hot hot! So good!
Thanks for another amazing planned event! Love the gear (bottle opener keychain, caps, temporary tattoos, stickers, and headphones!!) and must say those dog Haus t shirts are mighty cute — the absolute WURST! We will def be back :)
