Sonic's new Croissant Dog features a beef hot dog in a flaky, buttery croissant bun.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Sonic Drive-In is sprucing up its menu with the addition of the Croissant Dog, which features a beef hot dog in a flaky, buttery croissant bun.

“With the Croissant Dog, we created an unexpected twist that elevates flavor without losing what guests love about a classic hot dog,” said Todd Smith, chief marketing officer at Sonic Corp. “Our guests love Sonic for the variety we offer and treat every visit as a chance to try something different. They love the adventure our menu offers, and I think they will really enjoy what we’ve come up with this time.”

Sonic is no stranger to making changes to its hot dog buns. In the summer of 2013, the fast-food chain unveiled Pretzel Dogs.
