If you’re a fan of steak, you may want to try Wagyu beef hot dogs. This tasty beef substitute is not only tender and flavorful, but also relatively inexpensive. Snake River Farms American Wagyu is a brand you can try.
Fixin’ Franks
The Chicago area’s Fixin’ Franks hot dog stand has just introduced Wagyu beef hot dogs. Currently serving a trial run at three Home Depots in the Chicago area, the hot dogs will cost $8. That’s twice the cost of a regular hot dog.
Fixin’ Franks’ wagyu beef hot dogs are made from Wagyu beef, which is a rare breed that is a delicacy in Japan. A full-grown cow can be sold for $30,000 and up. The company makes their own wagyu beef by combining Japanese Black Cattle with Holstein cattle.
Fixin’ Franks also offers a beef and pork version. The pork-and-beef option comes in a package with the fixins. This package includes beef artisan franks, natural casing, and all the fixins.
A Chicago hot dog can be enjoyed with or without ketchup. The hot dog stands also offer crispy fries. The ketchup-free option might be best for purists. In addition, Michiganders may prefer the Coney Island hot dogs.
Snake River Farms American Wagyu
The family-owned company Snake River Farms is best known for its American Wagyu beef, but they also carry a wide selection of beef, pork, and specialty meats. While their beef is often more expensive than what you’d find in other grocery stores, it is certainly worth the money. A pound of ground Wagyu costs around $15 and a 16-ounce ribeye runs about $100. The company also sells specialty pork and gourmet hot dogs and burgers.
The company is a family-run business with a long history. It began in 1968 with a small herd of wagyu cattle from Japan. Over time, they crossed these animals with American Black Angus cattle to create a unique herd. Today, they supply beef to top chefs, including Thomas Keller’s French Laundry. All of their cuts are wet-aged for at least 28 days, ensuring that they are incredibly tender and have a firm bite.

The brand has expanded its product line, starting with a new hot dog menu. The company has teamed up with the Vander Farmers farm in Michigan to create a hot dog menu featuring Wagyu beef. The hot dogs are currently being sold in three Chicago-area Home Depots.
Availability of Wagyu beef hot dogs
In the US, Wagyu beef is an expensive delicacy. It is from one of four breeds of cattle that originated in Japan, and full grown cows can fetch $30,000 or more. Home Depot is expanding their offerings to include the delicacy, and has teamed up with local food producers. Among them are Fixin’ Franks, a Chicago-style hot dog chain, to add Wagyu beef hot dogs to their menu.
Previously, Wagyu beef was only available in expensive restaurants. But now, the beef is available at hot dog stands at Home Depot locations around Chicago. Fixin’ Franks has been trialling the new product in three Home Depot locations, including Elston, Kimball, and Lincoln Avenue in Chicago. The Wagyu beef hot dogs will cost $8 a pop, more than double the price of regular hot dogs.
Fixin’ Franks has also expanded their offerings in Home Depots throughout the Chicago area. Fixin’ Franks uses meat from a Michigan farm that specializes in premium midwestern wagyu beef. It is an experiment, and there is no guarantee that the food will be popular.
