Slows BBQ In Corktown Wants To Celebrate Sausage With New Hot Dog Pop-Up Called "Side Piece"

Slows BBQ is getting into the pop-up hotdog stand business.

On Wednesdays this summer, the popular BBQ joint is turning their patio on the side of their Corktown restaurant on Michigan Avenue into “Side Piece.”

The hotdog pop-up with a menu curated by Chef Ryan Esker includes sausages topped with ingredients like pickled carrot, cucumber and kimchi mayo; pastrami, kraut and hot brown mustard; and sherry caramelized onion, gruyere and bacon jam.

The menu, according to a release, will rotate weekly with snacks, sides, a list of summery beers as well as boilermakers, rye punch and wine in a can.

Side Piece opens up for the summer on Wednesday, June 20 starting at 5 p.m.
