About Us

In August of 2000, Rick and Dominique opened the doors of their little blue hot dog hut in Kekaha at the base of Waimea Canyon on Kauai. For the next two years using Dominique’s culinary expertise and Rick’s mechanical skills, they took a simple, somewhat forgotten staple food, the “hot-dog” or “sausage” and completely revolutionized it. From their tropical and beautiful surroundings, they began sampling and, eventually concocting, mouth-watering relishes and secret sauces from tropical fruits and plants native to Kauai. With the additional flavor of a choice proprietary sausage and fresh baked bun made with all natural ingredients, they have created a one-of-a-kind, full experience that generates return traffic regularly, native and vacationers.

In May, 2002, we opened our new shop in the Poipu Village Shopping Center offering their newly developed Hawaiian Puka Dog. There we are continually improving the products and processes. Poipu is a hot spot for vacationers and executive business travelers. We are enjoying the ever-increasing interest and passion for Puka Dog.
