Haute Nites are on
Henry Adaniya, owner of Hank's Haute Dogs in Kakaako, has been proving that hot dogs can live in an upscale world, and he's taking the concept further with Haute Nites.
The little streetside eatery is now open until 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, offering signature dishes from Adaniya's former restaurant, Chicago's five-star Trio -- Truffled Macaroni and Cheese, Lobster Sausage and Reindeer Haute Dog and Chicago Italian Beef.
On top of that, it's BYOB, so you can bring along wine (suggested pairings from the dishes above are California chardonnay, white burgundy, brut rosé champagne and zinfandel, respectively). Or bring the harder stuff, which can be mixed with Hank's drinks of Pineapple Ice, Kool Ginger Soda or Lilikoi Margarita.
Hank's is at 324 Coral St., with parking free on the street after 6 p.m. and in the Auahi Business Center after 7 p.m.
