“Our butcher hand crafts our sausages for us on a weekly basis,” said owner Jared Boyar. 

One of the best sellers at the store is the JHA, named after Boyar’s friend Jim Anderson. The JHA is a burger covered in Merkts cheddar, bacon and fried onion crisps. 

While the store may be called D’s Haute Dogs, the prices are very reasonable, ranging from $3 to $6 for the hot dogs. 

“We wanted to bring fun, affordable food to Winnetka,” Boyar said.
