Let’s Be Frank

Wish Upon A Wiener™ is a love letter to hot dogs, written by two guys with mustard on their sleeves and a dream in their hearts.

A dream that comes with plenty of napkins.

How It Started

It started with one hot dog and a dangerous amount of curiosity. Add a fridge full of condiments, a dash of rebellion, and zero restraint - and Wish Upon A Wiener™ was born.

Sometimes the only logical next step is sharing your wieners with the public.

Who We Are

We’re Mark & Brian, and we’ve done things. Things we probably shouldn’t be proud of. Like putting peanut butter and jelly on a hot dog. But we are proud - proud of that and proud to be partners for the last 25 years. We’ve been a part of Madison’s creative food scene since 2013, always chasing flavor, designing unique dining experiences, and finding new ways to feed our community.

Wish Upon A Wiener™ is our latest (and most public) adventure - a blend of everything we love: delicious food, interesting people, and this amazing city.

Where We’re Headed

The dream? A rolling temple of hot dog joy on four wheels - the Wish Upon A Wiener™ food truck. For now, it’s just the two of us, popping up, slinging wieners, testing flavors, and learning what makes people smile.

Show up hungry, spread the word, and help us put our wieners on wheels!
