A popular Toronto bagel shop is throwing a hot dog party
Summer is still in full swing thanks to Hot Dog Nights at Primrose
While late-summer weekends can feel like a cruel reminder of how quickly time passes, there’s still something to look forward to. Starting this Friday, July 24 (and with future dates TBD), at 5:30 p.m., Primrose Bagel Company and Kwinter’s King Sam Hot Dogs are hosting Hot Dog Night, a joyous evening for hot dog lovers, bagel bon vivants and seltzer seekers.

“Hot dogs and bagels go together like spaghetti and meatballs,” says Sam Davis, owner of Primrose Bagels, which is typically a daytime-only operation. “They’re both part of that classic, timeless canon of deli food. We’re all about tradition, and it just made sense to partner with the storied Kwinter’s hot dog family.”
The evening’s menu won’t stray too far from the classics. Guests can expect traditional all-beef wieners loaded with mustard, ketchup, sauerkraut and pickles as well as a few regional favourites, like Montreal steamies and all-dressed Chicago dogs. Primrose will also be serving its signature dog, the King Sam Hot Dog, topped with pickled red onions, crispy onions and mustard.

And if you want to go rogue, skip the bun altogether and slide a King Sam through the hole of a bagel—there’s no judgment at Hot Dog Night.
