Muki Dogs

I'm not vegan or a vegetarian, and I don't particularly seek out vegan or plant-based products (I have yet to try the Beyond Burger that was trending last year). But when Yelp Hawaii organized an event at Muki Dog for Yelp elites, I signed up, because I was very curious to try a vegan hot dog, and, I just love hot dog carts! It reminds me of New York City, where there are hot dog carts on almost ever corner. What I would give to be able to visit NYC again! 

But back to Muki Dogs. It's a one man show, owned and operated by a fella from Guam named Gene.

Everything on his cart is plant-based - from the buns to the dogs to the toppings (relish, Sriracha mayo, ketchup, mustard, and Spanish crumble). 

I asked for "the works" which includes everything.

In less than five minutes, my hot dog was ready. 

I zipped back to my office and practically inhaled it.  It was so good!  Granted, it doesn't taste like a beef hot dog.  It's not supposed to! But it was flavorful, thanks to all the toppings that are included in 'the works'. 

And being that this was my first time trying a Beyond Meat product, I must say, it's a pretty satisfying meat substitute. 

Thank you Yelp Hawaii and Muki Dogs for the complimentary Muki dog and Yelp Swag!
