“I have enjoyed being a part of this family and pet-friendly community since the early 2000′s and have been looking for an opportunity to be able to bring a business close to home,” McCartney said in the release. “The Marketplace felt like a natural fit for this community-minded concept with a great menu.”

Dusty’s is based out of St. Ignace, Michigan — which is the only other location of the restaurant.

In addition to hot dogs, the menu also includes smash burgers, street tacos and an assortment of sides including tots, fries and mac and cheese.
