Oscar Mayer Restaurant Tour

We asked local restaurants to create exclusive Oscar Mayer-inspired dishes that are only available when the Wienermobile is in town. By participating, restaurants got an exclusive visit from the Wienermobile. For example: the East team finally got to turn Ketchup Karaoke into a reality at Allagash Brewing Co.

Day 1- Thursday: A Day of Connections We launched the week at Southern Maine Community College, where students and faculty gathered around the Wienermobile for photos and free hot dogs provided by staff. Many attendees mentioned it was the largest and most successful gathering they’d seen on campus in a long time. Later, we made our first stop on the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Food Tour at Spare Time Entertainment, a local bowling alley. The community’s enthusiasm shone as attendees returned with food donations, inspired by the event’s lively atmosphere. To end the day, we brought joy to Portland with "Ketchup Caroling," visiting businesses, homes, and the fire department, singing the Wienermobile jingle, and collecting food donations door-to-door.

Day 2- Friday: Community Night Delight Our Wienermobile became a shuttle for the Community Night in Boothbay Harbor, transporting attendees from City Hall to the city’s Botanical Gardens for the magical City Lights event. During our stop at Boothbay Harbor, we also made appearances at a few more restaurants on the Oscar Mayer Food Tour; Brady’s, Whales Tale, and the Boathouse Bistro. From the candied jalapeño dog to the maple bacon wrapped mini dogs, these restaurants brought their own spin to the traditional Oscar Mayer Wiener. To end the day, we then joined Live Music at Throttle Car Club, where guests were surprised by the Wienermobile and a sneak peek inside.

Day 3- Saturday: Celebrating a BUNderful Community We kicked off the day supporting runners at the Sanford Turkey Trot, where attendees explored the Wienermobile inside and out. That evening, we joined the Maine Mariners hockey game for Military Appreciation Night. Relishing Riley and BBQ Bridget took center stage on the jumbotron, showing off our bun-derful dance moves and spreading joy to a packed crowd. Later Pier One Pizza hosted a full house for their Oscar Mayer-themed Trivia Night, where the winner proudly took home a Wienermobile parking sign. As part of the Oscar Mayer Food Tour they created the Glizzy Garlic Knots, a new take on the beloved “pigs in a blanket”.

Day 4- Sunday: A Grand Finale of Giving and Fun Sunday was the mustard on top of our food donation efforts at The Holy Donut. For every three donations, participants received a free donut coupon, leading to nearly sold-out donuts by 11 a.m., according to the manager. Next, we set up the Wienermobile at the South Point Lighthouse for a delightful Paint and Picnic event. End the weekend of events with Ketchup Karaoke at Allagash Brewing Company, where guests sang their hearts out alongside the Wienermobile, creating unforgettable memories. Relishing Riley and I ended the day by picking our wiener of the Food Donation Raffle. We drove over to Julie’s house and surprised her and her family with the Wienermobile and the special prize.
