On the 4th September, the bubbledogs Hot Dog Challenge returns, bigger and better than before.

To celebrate bubbledogs’ 5th birthday, Sandia Chang is throwing down the gauntlet to some of the UK’s finest chefs to compete for the title of top dog in their annual Hot Dog Challenge at London’s Borough Market. A panel of discerning judges will put the creations to the test in a blind tasting, where one dog will have its day. The winning hot dog will then make a month-long guest appearance on the bubbledogs menu, with £1 of each dog sold donated equally to Action Against Hunger and Red Cross.

Battling it out on the night are Matt Larcombe and Jonny Lake from The Crown at Bray, who return to defend their 2016 title, two Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge, Shaun Searley from the Quality Chop House, Magnus Reid of Legs, Tomos Parry former head chef of Kitty Fisher’s, Ali Borer of Smoking Goat, Shake Shack’s Mark Rosati, Bonny Porter of Balls & Company and Kitchen Table’s own James Knappett.

Challengers will be working against the clock, with 20 minutes to prepare and serve their hot dog creations using bubbledogs hand rolled buns and house recipe sausages. One dog will reign supreme whilst the others are left in the dog house. Sip on Champagne and have the chance to taste each entry for the Hot Dog Challenge in canapé form. Tickets are priced at £35pp.
