Hot Dog Cart Radio – Interview With Joel Goetz of “DreamMaker Hot Dog Carts”

Today you’re going to hear an interview I did with Joel Goetz, owner of DreamMaker Hot Dog Carts (formerly known as American Dream Hot Dog Carts) in St. Petersburg Florida.

Joel has a long history in the manufacturing sector, including RVs, custom vans, and now mobile food vending carts. If it has wheels under it, Joel has probably been involved in some shape or form.

After retiring, Joel got a hot dog cart and fell in love with the business. This naturally led him to dust off his manufacturing mojo and he started producing his own line of carts.

DreamMaker is now one of the largest hot dog cart manufacturers in the US, shipping carts all over the world.  Joel is always available to take your questions and he makes his staff available as well, so you can be assured of getting the answer you need.

Whether you need a small cart to get started with, or a full walk-in mobile kitchen, Joel can set you up.

Visit his super pretty web site at www.DreamMakerHotDogCarts.com or better yet, give him a call at (800) 408-1802 and please tell him Steve sent you.

Speed’s $7 Hot Dogs Voted #1 Hot Dog Cart in the Wall Street Journal

By Carlo V, Boston

The Wall Street Journal called Speed’s hot dogs the best in the country. They are as good as advertised.

While $7 might seem a bit steep for a cart hot dog, the loaded dog (special sauce, mustard blend, onions) is a steal considering the massive size and how damn delicious it is. Service Continue reading “Speed’s $7 Hot Dogs Voted #1 Hot Dog Cart in the Wall Street Journal”
