His favorite Toronto steakhouse, Animl, marked the occasion by launching the "Bo Dog," a luxurious $126 hot dog featuring Wagyu, lobster, and foie gras. The price cleverly nods to Bichette's $126 million Mets contract, and all proceeds are dedicated to his charity. This creative promotion follows Animl's previous viral offer of "free steak for life" if Bichette had re-signed with the Blue Jays. The gesture underscores Bichette's enduring popularity and strong connection to the city, despite his departure, especially after his heroic 2023 World Series performance with Toronto.
