The Costco food court is ditching the polish hot dog in favor of more healthy options. This has the retail chain changing out the polish hot dogs for new menu items like açai fruit bowls, organic burgers and the Al Pastor Salad.

The company isn’t making this change at all of its stores, though. Reports claim that stores kicking the polish hot dog to the curb are located in and around the Seattle area. Costco food courts in other parts of the U.S. are still carrying the polish hot dog.

Hot dog fans that live in the Seattle area still have options at the Costco food court. The company’s normal beef hot dog is still available for purchase. This includes the chain’s classic deal of $1.50 for the hot dog and a soda. While other menu items change, it appears there is no push to replace the normal hot dog deal, reports The Seattle Times.
