Another shore-to-city transplant: Maui's Dog House
While were busy mulling over Ocean City's gluten-free Pure Tacos opening a branch at 1935 Chestnut Street next month, we almost missed this: Their neighbor down the Parkway, Maui's Dog House in Wildwood, soft-opens a stand today at the Food Court at the Bellevue.
Another shore-to-city transplant: Maui's Dog House
While were busy mulling over Ocean City's gluten-free Pure Tacos opening a branch at 1935 Chestnut and Paul's Idaho Potatoes coming to South, we almost missed this: Wildwood's Maui's Dog House soft-opens a stand today at the Food Court at the Bellevue (200 S. Broad St.). Owners "Maui" Mike and Liz D'Antuono (pictured), in business at the shore for the past 13 seasons and fresh off a turn on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, felt it was a good time to bring their hot dogs to Philly.
"I don't even like to call it a hot dog," says Mike. He instead labels them "traditional German wursts,” the same links his native New Yorker grandfather, a WWII veteran and steel worker, used to sell at the state fair after the war. The wursts (a veal/pork/beef combo and a straight-up veal) are made by Hoffman Sausage in Syracuse, a linkery that been in business since 1879, while Ginsburg Bakery in Atlantic City bakes and delivers buns daily. Maui's styles the sausages into 20-plus topped combinations, everything from the "Sacrilegious" (beef chili, raw onions, spicy mustard and beer-cooked kraut) to the "Soprano" (extra-sharp provolone and spinach sautéed with white wine and garlic). There are Angus-beef burgers, chicken sandwiches and pommes frites, too. Price go $3 to $5 for dogs, and up to $6 and change for everything else.
Maui's Dog House will be open at the Bellevue Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
