Dog Haus to help Union Station Homeless Adult Center in Pasadena Monday

Dog Haus, the recently opened family friendly hot spot for Gourmet Hot Dogs, Sausages and Burgers, is heading over to Union Station Homeless Services Adult Center located at 412 S. Raymond Avenue on Monday December 27, 2010 to grill up a special post-Christmas, pre-New Year’s treat for hundreds of homeless people in Pasadena. The free lunch will feature three signature Haus Dogs.

“We are really looking forward to the special Dog Haus lunch at Union Station. It is fun and something different for our homeless community members,” said, Rabbi Marv Gross, Union Station CEO. “It is this kind of generosity from the people and businesses of Pasadena that expresses to those in need in our community that others care about them and their wellbeing.”

Dog Haus is donating everything from the Hot Dogs to the King's Hawaiian Bread that it uses in place of traditional buns. French Fries are also on the menu as well as numerous toppings…and manpower. The Dog Haus team led by owners Hagop Giragossian, Quasim Riaz, André C. Vener and Robert and Denise Zeilstra will be out in force to tend to their special guests at Union Station.

“Union Station does extraordinary work on behalf of the homeless in Pasadena on a daily basis,” said Giragossian who along with Riaz also owns NEOMEZĒ, recognized as Old Pasadena's best Mediterranean Cafe, Bar and Lounge. “Dog Haus is proud to be affiliated with such an important organization and to be able to give back by serving a free lunch for the homeless during this holiday season.”

“The positive response to Dog Haus has been overwhelming and we are thrilled to share this experience and some of the best food in town with the deserving people that Union Station helps feed,” continued Riaz. “We will be grilling hundreds of our specialty Haus Dogs right there at Union Station. No one should ever go hungry.”

Located at 105 North Hill Avenue in Pasadena at the corner of Union and Hill, Dog Haus is living up to its reputation as the Best of the Würst quickly becoming the go to place for an exciting and delicious variety of gourmet hot dogs, sausages, burgers and more.

“Dog Haus is committed to giving back to the community,” said Vener, who is also partners with Robert and Denise Zeilstra in Pasadena’s favorite wine bar and restaurant redwhite+bluezz which is also known for raising millions for charitable causes. Vener and the Zeilstras are also partners in the newly opened Jazz and Supper Club Meets Mixology venue point08 that is located behind redwhite+bluezz. “Dog Haus is involved with many local charities such as Union Station and offers incentive programs and discounts to various community organizations.”

The 1,400 square foot, 50-seat restaurant is housed in a brand new building located minutes away from Pasadena City College.
