# Brisket-Topped Hot Dogs Wienerschnitzel's New BBQ Brisket Dog is a Meaty Creation By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2021-11-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bbq-brisket-dog References: [chewboom](https://www.chewboom.com/2021/11/04/wienerschnitzel-introduces-new-bbq-brisket-sandwich-and-new-bbq-brisket-dog/)  Grilling season may be over, but you can still get your BBQ fix thanks to [Wienerschnitzel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bbq-pulled-pork-dog) and its two new menu creations: the BBQ Brisket Sandwich and the new BBQ Brisket Dog. Wienerschnitzel and sister brand [Hamburger Stand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-dog) recently expanded the popular BBQ Brisket menu with two tasty new options. The first is the BBQ Brisket Sandwich, which features a toasted bun piled high with smoky shredded brisket, BBQ sauce, grilled onions, and sliced pickles. Next up is the new BBQ Brisket Dog, which is a steamed hot dog bun filled with the same smoky shredded brisket, BBQ sauce, grilled onions, and a rich cheese cause. Both of the new items join the existing [BBQ Brisket Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chili-cheese-fries-burrito), which first appeared on menus back in September.
