"Three years ago, Josh Harris and Nick Amano-Dolan stood on what was basically rubble at a desolate former parking lot on Third Street, just south of Lefty O'Doul Bridge. Rebar protruded from the bases of cement columns and bulldozers sat idly, waiting to be put to work. The Mission Rock redevelopment plan, spearheaded by the San Francisco Giants, had barely broken ground."
"Harris, the owner of Trick Dog, one of San Francisco's most awarded cocktail bars, overlooked McCovey Cove as the stadium lights glistened in the sunset. Hands in his pockets with one foot perched on a pile of bricks, he stared with pride at Oracle Park, the home of his beloved Giants. "I saw him taking a moment to himself and realizing this was it, this was the perfect spot for Quik Dog," Amano-Dolan recounted in an interview with SFGATE."
"For more than a decade, Trick Dog has racked up countless prestigious awards, including being named one of the best bars in America by Forbes in 2015 and a top-10 bar in the country by Food & Wine just this year. Harris and Amano-Dolan, who are famous in the bar world, are now set to debut their first restaurant."
Josh Harris and Nick Amano-Dolan are opening Quik Dog at 1023 Third St., Suite E in the Mission Rock development adjacent to Oracle Park. Quik Dog will operate as a quick-service restaurant on one side and a full bar on the other. The menu will feature Trick Dog favorites including a large kale salad dusted with parmesan, a rectangular hamburger, and a deconstructed Mission hot dog. Trick Dog has earned national recognition, including Forbes naming it one of America's best bars in 2015 and Food & Wine placing it in the top 10 this year. The owners are bringing a new chef on board. The site transformed from a desolate parking lot during the Mission Rock redevelopment.
