Mei Wang is giving Nauti Dogs a run for its glizzies. After directing seasons four and five of the “Siesta Key” reality show, she launched Weenies N’ Bikinis in March.
“I love food, and I love boating, and I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be so cool if a little boat floated around serving hot dogs just like a hot dog cart, but in the water?’”
The boat, run by Wang and her bikini-clad crew, has the hot dog and mustard theme with a self-proclaimed aesthetic of “Bay Watch” meets Hulk Hogan.
The bikini wearers grill Nathan’s all-beef hot dogs, topped with Weenies N’ Bikinis brand seasoning, which Wang is planning to sell soon.
“The seasoning is the best part,” Jill, one of the bikini-wearing hot dog slingers, told CL. “I personally have never been a big hot dog fan, but these I can eat.”
Wang has high hopes for the business. She wants to expand the Weenies fleet, get the bikini girls their own TV show, and maybe start a pizza boat.
