The Mufuletta Dog in Covington LA is where Bruiser's Chicago identity meets Louisiana roots. This quarter-pound hot dog is topped with fresh mozzarella, crispy bacon, and olive salad — inspired by the classic New Orleans muffuletta sandwich, rebuilt as a hot dog.

The olive salad is the ingredient that makes this work. It brings the briny, herby character of a Central Grocery muffuletta to a format that fits right into Bruiser's game day menu. The mozzarella gives it a creamy, mild base, and the bacon adds the salt and smoke to pull it together.

This is one of the most distinctive items on the menu — the kind of dog that shows what happens when you put a Louisiana spin on a Chicago-style restaurant. There is nothing else like it in Covington.
