ABOUT US

On a trip to New York and having indulged in several different 'dogs' from multiple vendors on every street corner, it was epiphany time, Australia does not do hotdogs properly! So the seed of an idea was born.



After a series of phone calls and a change of travel plans, Colin & Karen were enrolled in Hotdog University in Chicago, where they earnt their Doctorates in Hotdogology and the Doghouse Grill was born.

  • Supplying biodegradable, recyclable and recycled cutlery, plates and takeaway containers in preference to disposables
  • Supplying recycled content paper napkins


Sustainable purchasing

Purchasing decisions have an environmental impact and clever purchasing can reduce waste. The Doghouse Grill:

  • Source foods and other products with little or no packaging
  • Give preference to packaging that is recyclable and opt for packaging with recycled content when packaging is required
