Discover Highway Gourmet, Just Minutes from The Benchmark Inn
As someone who’s traveled from coast to coast in search of unforgettable experiences and unexpected gems, I can tell you—some of the best culinary surprises come in the most unassuming packages. Case in point: Highway Gourmet, a roadside treasure just seven minutes from The Benchmark Inn.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: Hot dogs? Really?
Yes–really.
But these aren’t your standard ballpark franks. The hot dogs at Highway Gourmet are next-level creations. They’re built on perfectly steamed buns, loaded with premium ingredients, and paired in combinations so spot-on, you’ll wonder how you ever ate a plain hot dog before. Think savory, sweet, tangy, crunchy—all in one bite. Every dog tells a story, and every bite keeps you coming back.
Whether you’re sinking your teeth into the BBQ Bacon Dog, spiced just right and dripping with flavor, or trying something a little adventurous like their Jalapeño Popper Dog with cream cheese and jalapeños on top—this place knows what they’re doing. It’s gourmet comfort food that hits the spot after a long day exploring the charm of Augusta, KY.
And here’s the cherry on top: Benchmark Inn guests get a discount when they order. So not only are you getting an unbeatable bite, but you’re also saving a little—more reason to treat yourself to seconds.
Highway Gourmet might be small in size, but it’s big on flavor and heart. Trust me when I say: it’s worth the short drive. Honestly, it’s worth going out of your way for.
If you’re planning a stay at The Benchmark Inn, this needs to be on your itinerary. Come hungry—you won’t regret it.
