About Gunnar’s Icelandic Hot Dogs

Gunnar’s Icelandic Hot Dogs

Gunnar’s Icelandic Hot Dogs is here to bring something different—and a lot delicious—to your wedding day! We’ve put our own twist on Icelandic-style hot dogs that have guests raving about being the best they’ve ever had. While our traditional menu is designed to please, we’re happy to collaborate with you on any custom options or unique menu items that’ll make your day truly special (caviar dogs, anyone?). Whether it’s a fun rehearsal dinner, a late-night snack to fuel the dance floor, or a memorable surprise that’ll have your guests talking, we’re here to add that chef’s kiss to your celebration!

Gunnar’s isn’t just your average late-night bite or hors d’oeuvre—our hot dogs are custom-crafted with locally sourced meat from a trusted butcher, topped with house-made condiments that will surprise and delight your taste buds. We’ve brought our dogs to Portland’s breweries and event scene, and every day we hear from guests that it’s the best hot dog they’ve ever had. From the first bite to the last, we guarantee your guests will remember our dogs long after the celebration ends.

    We Love Gunnar's

    Gunnar's Icelandic Hot Dogs was an exceptional catering choice for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was clear, timely and efficient, putting our minds at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was impeccable - the food was absolutely delicious and the staff was so kind and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. Pete, in particular, was a joy to work with, making sure every detail was taken care of seamlessly. We especially loved the Icelandic hot dogs, which were a huge hit with our guests. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience and highly recommend Gunnar's to any couple planning their wedding.

    Apple Ketchup!

    I had been CRAVING this hot dog ever since I learned about it. When I finally went, I was in heaven. The crunchy onions, the sweet Apple Ketchup (WHAT?) mixed with thr remoulade, it was truly decadent. Can't wait for more opportunities to get my hands on these dogs! The owner, Pete, was professional, incredibly sanitary, and so excited to make connections with every customer who stopped by. Beef hot dogs will never compare to these pylsas.

    Booked for Event

    We worked with Gunnar’s Hotdogs for a community Holliday Market and they were wonderful! The hotdogs are amazing, the taste is great, and the toppings take the dogs to another level with both taste, texture, and esthetic! The unique style of dogs complimented the European Christmas market vibe we were going for with the event, couldn’t recommend enough!

We always recommend trying us while we're out and about but we'd be happy to set up a private tasting in the right situation, especially if we'll be providing some custom menu options.
We start booking up our dates in Jan/Feb for the upcoming season, please reach out as soon as you're interested for us to put a temp hold on your date while we discuss!
We'd be happy to travel anywhere in New England for your special day!
While our cooking area is quite limited, we can do our best to work with you on dietary restrictions. Typically if there's a will, there's a way!
We don't typically need to meet in person unless you're hoping to do a private tasting. We can usually get everything ironed out in a couple emails, phone calls, or web-based meetings!
Yes, our packages start at $1,250.
