Dog Haus, a gourmet hot dog chain out of California, sniffing around Denver

Dog Haus, a gourmet hot-dog chain based in Southern California, is getting ready to mark Denver's turf next year.

While the chain has yet to decide on a location, it's already announced that it will open a store next year somewhere in the Denver area -- which is already home to such homegrown hot-dog concepts as Biker Jim's and Steve's Snappin' Dogs.

And like the lineups at those spots, the Dog Haus menu features both dogs and sausages, with elaborate toppings for both.

This will be the fourth location for the Dog Haus, and the first out-of-state spot. The company currently has two locations in Pasadena and one in Alhambra.
