Have you served any famous people at your hot dog cart? I have (I think…)
Fun stuff today.

Hey Steve,

The last few weeks have had some exciting moments for me and my brother at the cart. 

Actor Denis Leary has a little lake house just up the road from where I operate and his wife is now on our ambulance crew in town.  He just co-starred in Spiderman 4 as the Sargeant who was after Spidey. He and his wife stop at the cart now and then. 

Also, today we had the privilege of meeting Actress Ginger Grace who played alongside Rich Little as the first ladies of the presidents he imitates.  She also played in such productions as Who’s afraid of Virginia Wolfe, Faust, and many other well known plays and movies.  She’s been here before, but we didn’t know who she was.  She’s up for the summer and living in a summer home within walking distance of the lake.

I’m just wondering, who have some of the other slingers met?  What were their brushes with fame?  Has anyone mentioned it?

I recently served Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man. Not Robert Downey Jr., this was really Tony Stark and he had the gun to prove it. You can see it just below the wing shelf on my E-Z Built hot dog cart in the picture below.

Missouri is a concealed carry state and we’re all packin’ most of the time so I guess no one took much notice of a guy with a gun. Or maybe people thought it was just a power nailer. Not sure why a guy in a suit would be standing at a hot dog cart with a power nailer in his hand, sooo – that doesn’t make much sense either. Now I’m confused…

Anyways, I was working the county fair parade, watching the Shriners precision go cart team and up walks Mr. Stark. Said he loved rural Missouri and vacationed here whenever he could get away from Stark Enterprises. He bought one of my Buffalo Cruncher dogs and we watched together as the Shriners did what they always do so well.

Serving a real live super hero at my hot dog cart was totally cool! Or was it only a dream?…

How about you, slingers? Have you served anyone famous at your hot dog cart? If not, who would you get a kick out of serving and why? Let us know either way in the comments!
