Laughing Dog Brewing is a
must-stop for those fishing
in or around Lake Pend
Oreille in North Idaho.
Chef Adam Hegsted is a
genius in his field at the top
of his game.
Nachos are two of Rob
Holman’s favorites.
THE FOOD:
Located in Ponderay, just
north of Sandpoint, the
easy access to Highway 2
(Highway 95) and Highway
200 lends itself to a quick
and restful stop for the
traveling fisherman. No
need to kick off your boots
here, walk in just as you are
- straight off the boat - and
bring your furry friend with
you. Yes, as in the name,
Laughing Dog caters to
those with pooches in tow.
Laughing Dog takes the
hotdog to a whole new
level. Their Haute’ Dogs
menu has something for
everyone. Try the Traveler!
Made with local smokey
sausage, it is topped with
jalapeno jam, peanut sauce,
cilantro, pickled jalapenos,
and basil aioli. Laughing
Dog's burger choices
are just as imaginative
and delicious. The PB &
J Burger has jalapeno
jelly, peanut butter sauce,
cilantro, Thai basil aioli,
and pickled peppers
on a brioche bun. The
Korean Chicken Sandwich
is amazing and is my
favorite. The Classic Burger
delivers for those burger
enthusiasts’ predetermined
expectations of what a
hamburger should taste
like. The Truffle Mac and
Cheese and Avocado
Laughing Dog Brewing is
known for many things,
and their Huckleberry
Ale is top of the list. Amid
huckleberry territory,
Laughing Dog prides
itself on sourcing NW
ingredients that are brewed
in the Northwest in their
Ponderay Brewery. The
summit Cider is out of this
world and is made with
northwest apples. The
Dogfather…It's everything
the name suggests, and
more. Stop in to find a new
creation on tap, like the
Huckleberry Seltzer, that
has made its way from the
tap to the shelf because
of its taste and popularity.
Schedule a tour of the
Brewery if you have the
time or check out their
website to find where you
can find Laughing Dog
Brewing products in stores
near you.
Laughing Dog not only
has 12 taps on hand, but
their food is an elevated
comfort style that triggers
curiosity and tickles
the pallet. The menu is
constantly evolving, being
driven by local produce
and their award-winning
Chef/Owner’s imagination.
Which in my opinion, is
limitless.
