Chef's Signature Burgers
All of the burgers served at Dog Days are made up of a half-pound of quality Angus beef. It's a mixture of 60% chuck, 20% brisket, and 20% short rib which creates a full-flavored, juicy, make-your-mouth-water burger! 

You are welcome to start from scratch and make your own burger creation with the toppings of your choice. First, though, check out the incredible signature burgers that our chef came up with this year. Also, you may upgrade the bun on the following burger creations with a gluten-free bun or a pretzel bun for a small additional charge.
