Dog Haus Kitchen Santa Monica will serve its signature menu in addition to rolling out one-of-a-kind menu items from The Absolute Brands' delivery-only brands – Bad Mutha Clucka, Bad-Ass Breakfast Burritos and JAILBIRD. Created by Dog Haus’ founders, The Absolute Brands is a new restaurant group comprised of Dog Haus and multiple unique concepts. Each of The Absolute Brands offers items that are off-shoots of Dog Haus’ signature menu.

Dog Haus’ menu includes gourmet dogs, sausages, burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, wings and sides. Haus Dog creations feature signature all-beef dogs with unique toppings served on grilled King’s Hawaiian rolls. Some favorites include the Sooo Cali, an all-beef dog topped with wild arugula, avocado, tomato, crispy onions and spicy basil aioli; and the Reservoir Hog, featuring a Polish kielbasa, Haus chili, Haus slaw and yellow mustard.

All sausages and dogs are free of added nitrates and nitrites and made with hormone- and antibiotic-free meat, the company said. Haus Burgers feature 100% genetically tested, humanely raised Black Angus beef using no hormones and no antibiotics in one-of-a-kind creations like the Holy Aioli, with white American cheese, smoked bacon, caramelized onions and garlic aioli.

The menu also features sandwiches, wings and strips using humanely raised, hormone- and antibiotic-free chicken, including fried chicken sandwich creations like the Bad Mutha Clucka, a crispy fried or grilled chicken sandwich served with lettuce, pickles and miso ranch. Dog Haus offers plant-based burgers, sausage proteins from Beyond Meat and burgers from Impossible Foods.

The company was founded by partners and friends Hagop Giragossian, Quasim Riaz and Andre Vener. They opened the first Dog Haus location in Pasadena in 2010.
