Dog and Shake


Another "have to go to place" my brother, sister and I visit in Wichita is "Dog and Shake." They serve hamburgers also, but the dog is the best.

In 1948, the Adamsons opened a hamburger joint called "Neal's Burger Bar". A second location followed in 1956. In 1962 they purchased "Sizzlin' Dog" and changed the name to "Dog and Shake." There are 5 locations still serving the famous hot dog with mustard, sweet pickle relish, onion and sprinkled with celery salt. The celery salt is the secret! The bun is actually a U shaped slice of bread, butter toasted. Yum. I wish I had one right now. They make good french fries and a chocolate malt which is almost as good as Nu-Way.

All the Dog and Shake buildings are different but have the same distictive red roof and yellow and red 1950's style sign. Love the sign.
