What’s more Birmingham than hot dogs and peanuts?

Two downtown Birmingham institutions — Gus’s Hot Dogs on Fourth Avenue North and the Alabama Peanut Company on Morris Avenue — are teaming up for a pre-Fourth of July pop-up featuring boiled peanuts soaked in Gus’s Hot Dogs sauce and hot dogs topped with crushed roasted peanuts from the Alabama Peanut Company.

Their “Born in the BHM” pop-up will be from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 3, at the Alabama Peanut Company at 2016 Morris Ave.

“The idea is, before everybody heads out for the weekend, we do a little Morris block party,” Gus’s owner Lee Pantazis says.

“What better to do for the Fouth of July than hot dogs and peanuts,” adds Alabama Peanut Company proprietor Jaime Thursby. “So, it’s perfect timing for finally doing a collab together.”

The two businesses have almost 200 years of collective Birmingham history.

Gus’s, at 1915 Fourth Ave. North, goes back to 1947, and the Alabama Peanut Company continues a tradition that began in on Morris Avenue in 1907.

Thursby, who is always thinking of new and creative ways to serve his boiled peanuts, has previously collaborated with such iconic Alabama brands as Wickles Pickles, Milo’s, Full Moon Bar-B-Que and Dale’s Steak Seasoning on some of his rotating, limited-time-only flavors.

The Gus’s boiled peanuts will come with some diced onions, a little mustard and a small slice of a charred hot dog – “just to give it that little bit of hot dog character,” Thursby says.

“Like beanies and weenies,” Pantazis adds, “but peanuts and weenies.”

The pop-up menu will also include four varieties of hot dogs, including the “traditional Birmingham dog, a Chicago dog, a chili-cheese dog and wan Asian-inspired dog that Pantazis is calling “The Melting Pot.”

“We’re going to do a hot dog that is peanut-inspired with a Thai peanut sauce, a southeast Asian slaw and then some crushed peanut on top,” he says. “It’s almost like a little hot dog banh mi.

“They’ll be the roasted peanuts from Alabama Peanut Co.,” Pantazis adds. “I’m going to take half of them and chop them up for the crushed peanut topping, and the other half I’m going to use to make a peanut butter.”

While Wednesday’s pop-up is a one-time collaboration, Gus’s Hot Dogs and the Alabama Peanut Company may partner again later, Pantazis and Thursby say.

“If it goes well, it can be an annual thing, for sure,” Thursby says. “I’d be down for it.”
