Portland, if you love the Mercury's annual Burger Week, then you're going to flip ass-over-teakettle for our newest (and perhaps funnest) food week ever... the Portland Mercury's WIENER WEEK!
That's correct: For one short week (now through Sunday, February 2), more than 40 (!) of the city’s boldest chefs will craft their most creative, flavor-packed wieners for just $8 a pop. And a special thanks from our pals at Zenner’s and Jim Beam for all their support!
Whether you like ‘em spicy, saucy, or piled high with unexpected toppings, we promise these buns will be packed with something new and exciting!
Take a look at all those gorgeous wieners here! But before you set off on a glorious, full week of huffing down wieners, here are a few hot tips to keep in mind:
TIP, AND TIP WELL! Wiener Week’s a ton of fun—and making it happen takes a ton of work! Make sure everyone behind Wiener Week—those working on the floor, in the kitchen, and behind the bar—knows how much you appreciate them. Wiener Week couldn’t happen without ’em!
WIENERS... AND MORE! As subtly implied by the name, wieners ARE the focus of Wiener Week. BUT! Each Wiener Week location also has an amazing array of sides and drinks that are a perfect match for their wieners! Don’t miss out!
HAVE FUN! Look, our first of many Wiener Weeks is sure to be popular—and it’s almost guaranteed that despite everyone’s best efforts, there’ll be lines, sell-outs, and more. So if one location is too crowded? Just come back another day, and in the meantime, hit another Wiener Week location!
#MERCURYWIENERWEEK The Mercury’s got you covered with Wiener Week updates, reviews, and tips on Facebook, as well as Bluesky, Twitter, and Instagram (just search the #mercurywienerweek hashtag for loads of up-to-the-second info). And on the WIENER WEEK homepage, you’ll find useful stuff like a handy map of all WIENER WEEK locations to help plot your gustatory path all week long.
WE ADORE YOU!

Again, GO HERE TO SEE ALL 40 (!!) OF THE DELIGHTFUL WIENERS IN THEIR SUCCULENT GLORY, and get ready for the most tummy-pleasing week of your life: the Mercury's WIENER WEEK! Happening NOW and through Sunday, February 2... and for only $8 a dog? Woof-woof, thank you very much!
