Fetching Quality Doggs

By developer Nov 05, 2009

After only four months in business, Joey Sutherland and Joey Colangelo are busy keeping things interesting at their new Surfside Beach restaurant called Joey Doggs, where no menu item costs more than $6.

Joey Sutherland is a familiar name in the Grand Strand restaurant scene. He worked for Ed Fleming of J. Edward's, back when J. Edward's was a Western Sizzlin'.

"My first job was making toast," he said. "I graduated to making French fries and baked potatoes, then I worked my way up to the meat room, cutting steaks and making burgers for Western Sizzlin'."











In 1987 Joey Sutherland moved to Charleston and worked for Palas Hospitality, which owns Key West Grill and several hotels. There are three Key West Grills, including the one at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, and Joey opened all of them.

In 2007 he bought Aspen Grill in Myrtle Beach, which he recently sold.

Joey Colangelo is a New Jersey native who has never before owned a restaurant. He has wanted to open a hot dog business for several years and, as a customer at Aspen Grill, mentioned his idea to Joey Sutherland. The idea and the opportunity finally came together, and Joey Doggs was created.
