Yes, that’s a $124 hot dog: B&B Butchers ready for Opening Day

True to its Houston roots, B&B Butchers & Restaurant is ready to throw out the first pitch with opening-day specials March 28 for Major League Baseball season.

It’s farther from the Fort Worth B&B to the ballgame than in Houston, but the prime steakhouse and bar is still offering free rides to the stadium on its luxury shuttle, Rare Force One.

B&B is the only local prime steakhouse that comes up with a gourmet hot dog menu for opening day.

On March 28, B&B will serve:

The “Ballpark Classic,” two all-wagyu grilled dogs and potato wedges, $14.

“Chef Tommy’s” dog, an all-wagyu bacon-blue cheese dog with honey, $26.

The “Carpetbagger,” an all-wagyu bacon-blue cheese dog with fried oysters and red-hot sauce, $29.

The “Break the Bank,” an all-wagyu dog topped with steak and lobster and topped with flakes of 24-karat gold. $124.

(Yes, really.)

B&B Butchers serves brunch, lunch and dinner in the restaurant and inexpensive to-go sandwiches from the adjacent butcher shop.

The main menu is pricy, but B&B also offers a $55 early-bird three-course dinner menu, a lighter happy-hour menu with sliders and pizza, and a late-night menu.

B&B Butchers’ retro butcher shop and deli opens at 10 a,m. daily. The restaurant is open for lunch or brunch and dinner daily at 5212 Marathon Ave.; 817-737-5212, bbbutchers.com.
