The twisted culinary minds at The Vanguard aren’t afraid to shake things up every now and then. Now a few months removed from introducing six new spring/early summer menu offerings, the Bay View bar and sausage emporium has decided to do a little mid-summer refresh by adding a few more new items to its regular menu.
Starting today, The Vanguard will serve a total of seven new offerings, including five specialty sausages, a Dr. Pepper mole hot dog, and a pasta-forward side. They’re available as of open today, so check them out below and stop by The Vanguard as soon as possible to give ’em a try. (Photos and descriptions courtesy of The Vanguard).
