Hey Steve,

Having a great time in Iowa selling the dogs from my E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart.  4 degrees this day with a lot of snow on the ground.  Don’t let the weather scare you off. 3 hours, 300 dollars,  gotta love a hot DOG on a freezing day…

Most excellent and awesome Kevin – CONGRATS!!!

I spent a few years getting kicked out of college in Iowa and I can vouch for the cold weather there. ;-)

I’ve seen lots of yellow E-Z Builts and lots of red ones but this is the first one split down the middle. I love it!

Let’s hear it in the comments for Mr. Wilson, folks…

P.S. Happy Valentine’s day to all you red hot lovers!
(I’m talkin’ about hot dogs folks…get your minds out of the gutter!)

The reason for the two colors is, I live on the border of Nebraska and Iowa. When Nebraska plays, I put the red side out. When Iowa plays I put the yellow side out. It keeps everyone happy around here…

Hey Kevin,
Congrats! I’d like to know what you do to keep warm. Do you have a heater? I did one Xmas event and I froze.

I would buy a hotdog from you but I sure as heck would not sell my hotdogs in 4 degrees period. I hate cold anything below 60 degrees is cold. Lets see the 90′s again. Gotta love the south…………

Way to go! I can’t get near MY place in the winter. They don’t plow the beach parking lot. And with THIS New England winter I don’t think ANYONE would want to tow a trailer!
Best to you and continued success! Love your cart colors!

Kevin, that is awesome and truly encouraging. I live right down the road from you in Carter Lake and plan on having my E-Z Built cart up and running in about three weeks. I hope to stop by really soon to check out your operation and chow down on a couple of your 180 degree dogs. Also, I love your location right in front of the courthouse. CONGRATS Kevin and keep up the good work!

Great job Kevin,
Great location too. You will always have traffic in and out of the court house. Do you or have you tried selling hot drinks? Keep slinging them dogs!
