— Former Houston Dynamo player Brian Ching will debut Hula Dog, a new food truck serving dough-wrapped hot dogs, at his EaDo soccer bar Pitch 25. The truck is an expansion of the Hawaiian original, which Ching tried on a trip to the island earlier last year. In Hawaii, it’s known for its taro-and-bacon flavored buns that are stuffed with a hot dog, sauces, and relishes. The truck is expected to start serving its first Hula Dogs next week. [Chron]
