Top Dog in Berkeley, CA, originated from a young boy's passion for sausage, inspired by his German immigrant family's culinary traditions during the WWII years. This appreciation for diverse flavors led to a rich selection of sausages, influenced by Italian, Polish, and Hungarian recipes, alongside classic kosher-style franks.

At Top Dog, customers can enjoy a variety of sausage options, made with a commitment to quality and authenticity. The menu emphasizes traditional tastes with toppings like kraut and mustard, capturing the essence of classic hot dog culture without the modern additives.
