This is from the “better late than never” folder. I received an email a while back from Hot Dog Profits Premium member Mitch Teaske. I replied to him but never posted his letter and pictures here on the ‘ol hot dog cart blog.

I just came across it again this morning and thought you would enjoy it…

Steve,

Hello I hope things are well for you. I just wanted to drop you a line and let you in on my big event!  Your going to like this.  This is the second year in a row that I have had the privilege to provide hot dogs to the veterans ceremony participants here at the Ft. Vancouver Barracks in Vancouver, WA.  Working alongside a big list of volunteers and organizations including National Parks Service, Lions Club International and the Clark County Historical Society, we were able to have 1000 Hot Dogs donated to us by Foster Farms. Buns were donated to us by Sysco Foods along with all the mustard, ketchup and relish we could ever use for so many dogs.

I started cooking the dogs at 10am and was feeding them out by 11am.  We had a huge assembly line set up so as I pulled cooked dogs out of my EZ built cart my team would bun and wrap them up.  In the span of an hour and a half we had cooked and wrapped all 1000 dogs.  Everyone grubbed and had a good time.  Yes we had leftovers, Haha!  I truly enjoy giving back to the community and this was such a blast.

I just wanted to let you know that my cart is now 3 years old and has seen a lot of events and busy days but yesterday was a true test of what it was capable of.  1K dog in 1.5 hours! WOW!  If anyone has doubts on if your EZ cart can hold up to high demand this should put it to rest.  I am including a pic of my well used cart taking a breath and a photo of our assembly line.  It oughtta make you smile.  Thank you for all that you do.

God Bless the USA

Great job Mitch! Looks like a finely tuned machine you have there, keep up the good work (and sorry it took me so long to post this)!

And yes, God Bless the USA – and all of our veterans and their families for all the sacrifices you have made!!!
