New York City is famously associated with hot dogs, and on October 16th, Tourism Australia is sending a G'day Dogs food truck across the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn, inviting New Yorkers to try a menu of five distinct Aussie-style hot dogs. The Classic provides an elevated take on an Aussie favorite, while The Melbourne Muse infuses Southeast Asian flavors into a pork sausage, and the Sydney Surf 'n Turf matches a beef snag with chopped prawns.
Each menu item, inspired by real Australian destinations and dishes, will only be available for a limited time, while supplies last. Foodies with an interest in getting a taste of the Aussie-style hot dogs will need to keep an eye on the @australia Instagram account to see the locations and service times for the G'day Dog food trucks.
