Creative hot dogs with global flavors, customizable toppings, and a friendly vibe
"This pop-up has already earned a top spot on our best hot dog guide, so it’s no surprise that Pepper’s leads the dog pack at Truist Park too. They have a lemon dog (which is good), but our favorite is the Damn Dog with huge globs of melted mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, and fresh jalapeños that give it a nice kick. Plus, it has a healthy drizzle of truffle aioli, which is the dining world equivalent of a performance enhancing substance." - juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"Pepper’s tagline is “wiener slingers,” and that’s a pretty good summation of this pop-up, which serves some of the city's most creative hot dogs. Their Damn Dog is the reason we used to sneak a container of truffle aioli into ballparks—now we can actually get it at Truist Park. In addition to the delicious aioli, the dog (with your choice of beef, vegetarian, or chicken sausage) is covered with melted mozzarella cheese, caramelized onion, and jalapeños for a nice kick, with a potato bun to hold it all together. All the ingredients combine to form an ooey-gooey mish-mash of flavors that make a simple frank feel like it should have its own trust fund." - juli horsford, demarco williams
"Pop-up Pepper's makes some of our favorite hot dogs in the city." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
"Pepper’s tagline is “wiener slingers,” and that’s a pretty good summation of this pop-up that primarily serves hot dogs. Their website posts a weekly schedule of where they’ll be around the city (places like Punk Foodie at Ponce and the Holiday Bar). And they're worth tracking down because Pepper's makes some of our favorite dogs in the city. Three options (beef, chicken, or vegetarian) come in a fluffy potato bun. Choosy folks can create their own dog with 12 topping choices like chili, cheese, and BBQ sauce. But we never visit without ordering the Damn Dog—melted mozzarella cheese, caramelized onion, spicy jalapeños, all topped with truffle aioli." - Juli Horsford
