Labor Day, Minus the Labor: DoorDash Unveils Its Top Burger and Hot Dog Spots for the Holiday Weekend

Labor Day weekend is coming up on September 7, and DoorDash is marking the unofficial end of summer by serving up its Top Burger and Hot Dog list* on DoorDash. The list recognizes standout small and medium-sized restaurants making it easy to skip the grill and let someone else handle the holiday weekend cooking.

Whether the occasion calls for a smashburger stacked high, a chili-topped hot dog, or a footlong dressed the way your hometown does it, these local spots make it easy to celebrate Labor Day weekend on-demand. From a 90-year-old Virginia diner to a Chicago hot dog stand that's been slinging Vienna Beef since 1954, the list spans decades-old institutions and newer neighborhood favorites alike, including Frankie's Hot Dogs in Connecticut; Crown Burgers in Utah; and Sup Dogs in North Carolina.

"Labor Day means one more cookout before summer's over, but someone still has to handle the shopping, the prep, and the cleanup," said Ruth Isenstadt, Head of U.S. Restaurants at DoorDash. "This list skips all of that. Order from these top burger and hot dog spots your neighborhood already loves, and get straight to eating."
