It's the Return of Portland Mercury's Wiener Week!

From January 26 to February 1, you can chow down at 46 locations for just $8 a pop. The Portland Mercury proudly welcomes back its newest, most mouthwatering member of the Food Week Family: Wiener Week! From January 26 to February 1, the city’s boldest chefs will craft their most creative, flavor-packed wieners for just $8 a pop. Whether you like ‘em spicy, saucy, or piled high with unexpected toppings, we promise these buns will be packed with something new and exciting! And a special thanks from our pals at Zenner’s, Jim Beam, Portland Bangers and Travel Portland for all their support! Take a look at all those gorgeous wieners here! No pressure, but you've got 46 locations to choose from, so plan accordingly! But before you set off on a glorious, full week of huffing down dogs, here are a few hot tips to keep in mind: TIP, AND TIP WELL! Wiener Week’s a ton of fun—and making it happen takes a ton of work! Make sure everyone behind Wiener Week—those working on the floor, in the kitchen, and behind the bar—knows how much you appreciate them. It couldn’t happen without ’em! WIENERS... AND MORE! As subtly implied by the name, wieners ARE the focus of Wiener Week. BUT! Each Wiener Week location also has an amazing array of sides and drinks that are a perfect match for their sausage companions. Don’t miss out!  HAVE FUN! Look, our first of many Wiener Weeks is sure to be popular—and it’s almost guaranteed that despite everyone’s best efforts, there’ll be lines, sell-outs, and more. So if one location is too crowded? Just come back another day, and in the meantime, hit another location! #MERCURYWIENERWEEK  The Mercury’s got you covered with Wiener Week updates, reviews, and tips on Facebook, as well as Bluesky, Twitter, and Instagram (just search the #mercurywienerweek hashtag for loads of up-to-the-second info). And on the WIENER WEEK homepage, you’ll find useful stuff like a handy map of all WIENER WEEK locations to help plot your gustatory path all week long. WE ADORE YOU! Thank you so much for enjoying the Mercury's food weeks and supporting small local businesses—especially those who may not get the attention they deserve! YOU'RE THE BEST. And, as always, if you appreciate the Mercury's daily efforts to keep you informed and entertained, please consider dropping a small contribution so we can keep it going! Again, GO HERE TO SEE ALL 46 (!!) OF THE DELIGHTFUL WIENERS IN THEIR SUCCULENT GLORY, and get ready for the most tummy-pleasing week of your life. Woof-woof, thank you very much!
