It's known for its hot dogs with funny names, like the Chili Idol (a chili-cheese dog with onions) and the Reservoir Hog (a kielbasa with chili, cole slaw and mustard). The wordplay continues with the restaurant's list of burgers and chicken sandwiches.

Dog Haus also sells the Impossible Burger, a vegan plant-based patty that can be found at hundreds of restaurants in the U.S.

The seven hot dogs available for free on Aug. 3 were created by chef Adam Gertler. (Fun facts: Gertler appeared on the TV show The Next Food Network Star in 2008. He tied for second place on the show, alongside Dallas chef Lisa Garza.) Many of Gertler's signature hot dogs are served on King's Hawaiian rolls.

The local branches of Dog Haus come from franchisee Ron Ryan, a Dallas resident.

"Our Richardson location has been a huge hit, so expanding in Dallas-Fort Worth was a no-brainer," Ryan says in a statement in May 2019. "We couldn't be more excited to introduce our chef-driven gourmet creations to everyone in Arlington and beyond."

The new Dog Haus in Arlington is located at 4000 Bagpiper Way, Arlington. The Lake Highlands restaurant will be at 7100 Wildcat Way, Dallas.
