INCHES to Host Queer “HOE-DOWN” Hot Dog Pop-Up in Atlanta

Feature Spotlight | Events

This July, Atlanta’s hottest Black, queer-owned food brand, INCHES, is serving up thick dogs, signature cock-tails, and Southern sass at its first-ever HOE-Down! From 1 PM to 5 PM at 944 Marietta Street NW, INCHES HOE-Down promises a sizzling fusion of flavor, freedom, and fabulousness.

Founded by entrepreneur and tastemaker Sebastien Gaudin, INCHES has quickly become known for its bold identity, buttery buns, and creatively branded hot dogs - like the Ding-A-Ling & the Raw Dawg. Now, for Round 3 of its pop-up series, the brand is throwing its first-ever country-inspired culinary party, and it’s anything but ordinary.

Sebastien Gaudin describes the event as a love letter to community and culinary creativity.

"Consider the INCHES: HOE-Down a love letter to Atlanta, queer Black excellence, and Beyoncé. For one unforgettable moment, we’ll come together to celebrate, toast, and gather around what we love most… INCHES."

The HOE-Down isn’t just a food event — it’s an experience. Guests can chow down on four full-size gourmet hot dogs, including vegan-friendly options, all while sipping on three custom-crafted COCK-tail drink tickets that will have your taste buds yee-hawing for more.

But the event doesn’t stop at the plate. The HOE-Down is layered with immersive elements that celebrate queer Southern culture and individuality. With two exclusive activations and curated beats by DJ C. DeVone, expect to be fully immersed against the backdrop of one of Atlanta’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

INCHES invites locals and visitors alike to ditch the rules, pull up in their best country-chic fits, and embrace their inner HOE with pride.

From themed photo ops you'll want to straddle, to outrageous games like "How to Eat a Hot Dog" and "How Many INCHES?", this immersive event brings food and fun together in a way that celebrates the culture of inclusivity, community, and culinary creativity.
