SOMERVILLE, NJ — Bridgewater local Kevin Trimarchi is at it again with his newly launched hot dog joint called Slingin’ Dogs.

Slingin’ Dogs opened in April and are currently running on soft opening hours Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
They are hosting a grand opening and ribbon cutting on Saturday, May 13 at noon at 92 W Main St. in Somerville. It was the former location of Epic Cookies, which has merged with Even More Epic Cookies at 84 W Main St.
During the grand opening, Slingin’ Dogs will serve us $3 hot dogs all day.
“We have five different hot dogs – regular, chili cheese dog, Italian hotdog, Memphis dog, and Chicago dog,” Trimachi told Patch.
The hotdogs being served are Sabrett with Martin’s Potato buns. Slingin’ Dogs also serves soft pretzels, chips and drinks.
This is Trimarchi’s latest venture under his company TriState Restaurant Group. He also owns 22 West Tap & Grill in Bridgewater, Oink and Moo BBQ Market in Somerville and Holmdel, and Even More Epic Cookies in Somerville, and has a partnership with Ambee Coffee.
After combining Epic Cookies and Even More Epic Cookies, Trimachi said he was walking the small footprint of the location and was trying to think of something new to bring to the area.
“What I always like to do when I open a place in Somerville is to see what’s not here or really around. And there is no hot dog places in Somerville,” said Trimachi.
The joint is more of a pick-up window concert with a very limited window.
The name is a nod to the hot dog concept. “It’s slingin’ them out the door,” said Trimachi.
