Most boaters pack cold beverages when they head to the water, but food often is an afterthought. Chris and Jeremy Gocha and their wives have a solution. Their Lake Dogs floating concession stand is accommodating hungry boaters this summer on Lobdell Lake. The couples serve hot dogs, nachos, chips, candy, pop, bottled water and ice [...]
I just got a really nice note from Hot Dog Cart News subscriber Michael Evegens. Michael is a retired professional race car driver who is building a hot dog cart to use at car shows.

You will NEVER see more loyalty than when you tap into […]
Let's Be Frank serves grass fed beef hot dogs in some upscale spots, including Silver Lake Wine's very popular Thursday night wine tastings. Great idea, I'd have never thought of that. There are a lot more places to make good money selling hot dogs besides the local Home Depot. Let's get creative folks - leave [...]
