Hot Dogs and Catering in the Magic City by Tom Akers
The Scalded Dawg has been serving up delicious food all over downtown Birmingham, Gardendale and surrounding areas since Tom retired in 2024.
He often joked after a bad day at work and said, ‘Well I’m just going to get fed up and go sell hot dogs on the street!’.
No one at work really knew just how serious he was about the idea, but anyone that knew Tom well understood his life-long obsession with cooking. He brings that enthusiasm to every event we cater.

More Than Just a Hot Dog
Here at The Scalded Dawg, we believe food brings people together. While we’re serious about serving incredible hot dogs, we’re just as passionate about creating a positive, fun atmosphere wherever we set up. We are more than a mobile dog joint; we are a gathering place for friends, families, and the community. Our goal is to serve up smiles alongside our delicious food, making every visit a memorable one. Seeing our customers enjoy a great meal and make new memories is the best part of our day.
The hot dog holds a special place in the heart of Southern food culture, and we’re proud to contribute to that legacy right here in Alabama. From backyard cookouts to local fairs, it’s a food that signifies good times and simple pleasures. We honor that tradition by pouring care into every detail, from perfectly steamed buns to our wide array of toppings. Whether you like yours with classic mustard or loaded with our savory chili, we’ve got something to satisfy that craving.
