PHAT DOGS’ STORY… In the beginning, we had normal 8-5 jobs with major corporations in the upstate. They promised great benefits, and a lifetime of opportunities & retirement. After WE employees helped build these corporations to world class status, the companies then sought cheaper labor in both Mexico & China leaving dedicated U.S. employees without jobs. Being faced with this, we decided its time to take control of our own destiny. Phat Dogs started out as a dream, and became reality on May 20th, 2004. We became aware of the word Phat through our (now grown) children. The word Phat in the modern dictionary means 1st rate, excellent and if you will, all things good. With a name that means 1st rate, we have to strive to be the best, the best hot dog, the best atmosphere, & the best service. Our hot dogs are kosher, Hebrew National franks. Our atmosphere is a mini musical museum that will take you on a stroll down memory lane. A musical atmosphere was chosen because the owners (Walt & Donna Scott) have a passion for music. As Shakespeare said “If music be the food of love, Play on, play on, play on”!
