The Dog Day Afternoon

Overview

Sydney's much praised Ume Burger has extended its repertoire to Japanese-inspired hot dogs, having launched Ume Dogs at Melbourne's HWKR food hall earlier this year.

After hosting a one-day pop-up in Sydney last month, owner Kerby Craig is back — but this time, he's going all out, teaming up with Redfern Surf Club to serve up all-you-can-eat dogs for one day only.

The pop-up will take over the new Australiana-themed bar from 12.30pm on Sunday, September 28, where Craig will be slinging his wood-smoked pork frankfurts. It's just $20 for as many as you can eat. Dogs will come plain, atop a soft steamed bun, but you'll be able to customise them over at the condiment bar — where you'll find pickled wakame, curry mayo, tonkatsu sauce, arare and bonito flakes, among others.

Plus, Redfern Surf Club will be slinging $5 tinnies all day, too. There's no word yet on what brews will be on offer, but expect quality Aussie labels like The Grifter Brewing Co and Young Henrys.
