While it might strike some as a barking mad idea, Sydney’s Chew Chew is becoming incredibly popular with its delicious selection of meals for dogs.
Dishes on the menu include options like beef steak with mushrooms, chicken wings, fish soup, and lamb bones.
It seems quite absurd. What rational individual would take their dog, along with a neighbor’s pet, for a cozy dinner for two? Perhaps these individuals have indulged in too many viewings of Lady and the Tramp.
Should their furry companions desire a coffee, Chew Chew accommodates that too, presenting its ‘doggie-cinos’ topped with a dash of dried liver treats.
For pet enthusiasts living too far from Chew Chew, there’s also the convenience of ordering products online.
This quirky restaurant, which began operating in June, is managed by Naoko Okamoto, a pet nutritionist. She shared with The Sydney Morning Herald that many dog owners had been looking for an establishment where they could dine with their pets.
She remarked, ‘My journey started with organic dog biscuits and supplements, which I sold at markets. Over three years, I gathered insights into what customers truly needed.’
This seems astonishing… what Australian, genuinely, would consider taking their dog to a “doggie restaurant”?
It’s hard to fathom. This seems more suited for Americans or the affluent classes in England. What on earth is happening in the world?
Nevertheless, I guess best of luck to them. If people want to indulge their dogs at Chew Chews, then by all means, go for it; I hardly mind. Still, I find it hard to believe the business will endure. I sincerely wish it does, though. We should check back in about six months to see how it’s faring.
I can only imagine owners heading home with a…wait for it…”doggie bag” if their pets can’t finish their meals.
