SUPERIOR — UpDawg food truck has found a stationary home base in the kitchen of Average Joe's Bar.
Co-founders Cory Netland and David Fitch debuted their craft hot dog creations last summer in Duluth. With the new home base, UpDawg will be able to offer its food regularly to customers and can prepare for larger catering events with the full-scale kitchen.
Netland and Fitch said they will be taking over the Average Joe's kitchen within the next month. It was previously occupied by Cousin Chuy's, which has moved to downtown Duluth and reopened as Loaf and Ladle.

Indigo The Label will be open at Fitger's, 600 E. Superior St., from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
