Kicker: A menu for the dogs

NICK EICHER, HOST: San Francisco has lots of choices for fine dining and now it has another: fine dining for dogs.

Excuse me, for dogues. Right D-O-G-U-E, rhymes with vogue.

Dogue is a new restaurant for pups with persnickety palates—my words, not theirs. Rahmi Massarweh is a classically trained chef who decided to quit the rat race, so to speak, to cater to canines.

Massarweh spoke to news channel KEYT.

MASSARWEH: It’s as much an experience for the dogs as it is for the owners, for the humans. I don’t know, sometimes, who has more fun.

So a three-course meal—75 bucks per, which seems a tad steep. But for the person who’s paying, there’s a mimosa and a human treat in it for ya, if you’re good boy.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
