The Original Burgerdog

Bill Parrish, a professional musician and entrepreneur, created the Burgerdog with the help of his wife Billie. Originally, Bill set up shop with his mobile hot dog stand alongside Lake Merced in San Francisco, just across the road from The Olympic Club. To save on money and space, Bill made a burger shaped like a hot dog and served it on a hot dog bun. Bill’s signature, the now famous Burgerdog, was initially just a cost and space saving innovation but quickly turned into a worldwide phenomenon. To supplement his musical career, Bill took his rig on the road and stopped at places like Half Moon Bay, boat races and even a car wash in Daly City. Fishermen and park goers were his target Many Olympians also held memberships at Silverado Resort & Spa and encouraged the Parrish family to bring the Burgerdog to the Napa Valley. In 1973 Bill’s son, Steve Parrish and his wife, Linda, did just that by opening a concession stand on both the north and south course. Steve’s son, Jeff Parrish and his wife Ashley, are 3rd generation owners, who also offer catering services. The Burgerdog is hand-crafted out of premium ground chuck and sirloin, bought fresh every day. Your cooked-to-order Burgerdog is served on a fresh, toasted bun and topped with condiments of your choice. The key to our success has always been the use of fresh, quality ingredients.
