We know all too well how easy it can be to get stuck in a restaurant rut – the seemingly endless cycle of eating at the same group of restaurants time and time again.

Hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? If you live by this philosophy, you’re missing out on some seriously stellar food options. That’s why, this month, we’re highlighting new and upcoming restaurants in the local area.

Enter Mutts Amazing Hot Dogs and Burgers, which serves up classic Americana fare, with a culinarily adventurous twist. Try one of the uniquely chef-driven menu items or create your own burger or hot dog.

Mutts’ hot dogs range any where from the classics – like the Liberty Dog (beef frank, spicy mustard, sauerkraut) and The Boardwalk (beef frank, chili, cheddar jack cheese, mustard, onions) - to the oh-so-strange – like the Tatonka (bison dog, cilantro-lime aioli, green chile sauce, goat cheese) and the Pond Dog (duck sausage, provolone, caramelized apples and onions, balsamic glaze). There’s also a range of corn dogs and stretch dogs, hot dogs made from 10” beef franks.

Not in the mood for a dog? Try one of their burgers or sandwiches. The Bacon Cheeseburger and B.L.T. sit alongside the Black & Blue (Bacon, Blue Cheese, Fried Onions, Truffle Mayo, Spinach) and the Sunrise Burger (Bacon, Egg Fried or Scrambled, Bloody Mary Ketchup, Fries, Cheddar Jack Cheese) on the burger menu.

Hungry? Well, you’re in luck. A brand new Mutts location is now open near you, located at the corner of Edmond Road and Santa Fe at 285 S Santa Fe Avenue. Swing by and try one of the many unique offerings or Groom It Your Way and customize your dog or burger.
