Bone Appétit: Fancy restaurant for dogs opens in San Francisco – Boing Boing

Doggos are getting the gourmet treatment in San Francisco with the opening of Dogue, a fine-dining establishment that caters to canines. That’s right, a restaurant just for dogs. You will find no people food here. Started as a raw dog food service in 2015, Dogue’s owner, Chef Rahmi Massarweh, has now moved on to offering his artisanal treats in a more formal way.
SF Chronicle has the scoop:
Dogue opened last week at 988 Valencia St. with pastries and “dogguccinos” served during the day and a $75, three-course tasting menu on Sundays. Passersby could easily confuse this for San Francisco’s hottest new all-day cafe. A glass case is filled with elegant pastries, like a rose-shaped cake filled with wild venison heart and a doggy petit gâteau modeled after the creations of acclaimed French pastry chef Cédric Grolet.  (Dogue’s version swaps butter and sugar for grass-fed cream and braised chicken.) On Sundays, Dogue transitions into Bone Appetit Cafe, where chicken-mushroom soup is poured tableside — and then promptly licked up by the eager diners.

But not with this silly golden retriever, who gave himself away before his crime was even noticed. The signs were obvious: the squintiest eyes a dog could ever pull… READ THE REST
While watching a TV show about a mama bear and her cubs, a curious German shepherd wonders where the cute baby bears went after they walked off the screen. So he decides to look for them. Are they behind the television screen? No. Are they in the bedroom? No. Dang those cubs are crafty! Via… READ THE REST
Complete sentences aren’t needed for this excited French bulldog. All it takes is, “Do you want to go for…” and Stitchy immediately wriggles and pops up from under a blanket. Although unnecessary for the mind-reading pup, he then politely waits for his human to finish the sentence, “… a walk?” before scrambling across the room… READ THE REST
