We don't do
boring dogs.

Scotty Dogs started with one stubborn belief: the hot dog deserves better. The American hot dog has spent decades being a default — gas-station fuel, ballpark filler, the thing nobody actually orders if there's another option. We thought that was a waste of a really good vehicle for flavor.

So we built our own. One-third pound of beef. Real bacon, cooked into the casing. A snap when you bite it. A canvas built to handle the loudest, weirdest, most maximalist toppings we could think up — and most of them work.

We added Basque chorizo because we live in Boise, home to the largest Basque community outside Spain. It would be wrong to ignore that. Smashburgers because sometimes you don't want a dog. A breakfast lineup because some mornings call for jalapeño bacon cream cheese on something — anything.

We're loud, we're irreverent, we're locally owned, and we treat the food seriously while never taking ourselves too seriously. That's the whole thing.

No. 02 / What We Stand For

House Rules

Our
operating
manual.

01

Mission.

Make the hot dog the most fun thing on the menu, anywhere we are. Bring Boise something it didn't know it was missing.

02

Vision.

A Boise institution. The dog you take out-of-towners to. The line that's always slightly longer than you'd expect.

03

Value Prop.

Fast-casual price, full-bar quality, ridiculous flavor. Bacon inside the dog. Toppings that earn their seat.

04

Brand Promise.

If you order a Scotty Dog, you're walking away with the most flavor-packed bun-and-sausage situation Boise has to offer. Every. Single. Time.

05

Brand Image.

Punk-zine yellow + black + red. A hot dog mascot in sunglasses. Hand-drawn type. The kind of place that has a lot to say and isn't sorry about it.

06

Differentiators.

Bacon inside the dog. Basque chorizo. Maximalist toppings nobody else is doing. House sauces (Stinger, Carolina Gold, Knock-Out Kraut). And we mean every word of it.

No. 03 / Why · How · What

The Big Picture

What
we're
doing.

Why

The dog deserves better.

The American hot dog has been mailed in for too long. We took it personally. Boise should have a dog joint that takes the dog seriously.

How

Bacon. Inside. The. Dog.

Custom-built ⅓ lb beef + bacon dogs in natural casings. House sauces. Local sourcing. Maximalist topping combos that work.

What

A loud, fun joint.

A locally-owned, irreverently-run hot dog spot in Boise serving food too good to be this fun, and a brand too fun to be this serious about food.
