Updated with opening date and full menu details
It's all change at Harrods for chef and restaurateur Jason Atherton. He's moving out of his current digs on the store's lower ground floor and heading to the Dining Hall. The plan is to open a 25-seat gourmet hot dog restaurant, Hot Dogs by Three Darlings. The Three Darlings bit alludes to his upcoming Chelsea opening of the same name.
The new Harrods restaurant will be an all-counter dining space (he's taking over half the space currently being used by Sushi by Masa in the Dining Hall) serving up a tight menu of five gourmet hot dogs, inspired by flavours from around the world. The launch menu features:
- Our Darlings - pork shoulder and lardo dog with caramelised onions, English cucumber pickle and smoked Alsace bacon
- Souk Dog - beef shoulder and aged beef fat dog with harissa, sour red onion, tahini and coriander
- The Texican - beef shoulder dog with guacamole, jalapeno salsa, squeezy cheese, chipotle mayo and crunchy tortilla chips
- Chori Dog - pork shoulder, Iberico pork and chorizo dog with braised pork adobo, spicy mayo, pickled atchara and crispy onions
- Veggie dog - chestnut mushroom, parsnip and celeriac dog with any of the above toppings
The extra dog on the list will be a rotating hot dog celebrity special endorsed by a celebrity. That series kicks off with David Gandy's Battersea Banger - a beef shoulder, beef fat and beef brisket dog with braised beef cheek, truffle mayo and Comte cheese - with the option of adding Australian truffle for an extra £30. £2 from every sale of that will go to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
In addition to the dogs there will be Koffmann fries, puppy dogs for the kids and three types of ice cream sundaes. On the drinks side of things expect milkshakes, martinis and a list of champagne, wine and beer.
