I’m Back – Let’s Add A Grill To Your Hot Dog Cart.

This just in from Rich: Hello Steve, I purchased your E-Z Built video almost a year ago.  Every thing  is going great.  I have built two of your carts and they are out working every day.

I Hope you and your family are doing well during these times, starting this hot dog business has been a real life saver and we […]

On Vacation. See You Next Week!

Flyin’ High and Slingin’ Dogs in NC

Steve, I have been in the aviation industry for the last 21 years and had climbed the so called corporate ladder to Executive Vice President of Sales. I bought my cart back in March of 2010 after reading your book Carts of Cash and listening to the audio disk several times. I bought it with the intentions of doing weekend festivals and fairs. The current economy has hurt the aviation industry pretty hard so I started to think about changing careers from the aviation side to selling hot dogs. Then my wife was robbed at her bridal shop on […]

World’s Most Expensive Hot Dog

The midtown east ice cream parlor Serendipity III  introduced a fancy new menu item today: the "Haute Dog." These are the same people who brought us the $25,000 sundae and the budget-priced $1,000 sundae, resulting in a hilarious Stephen Colbert segment, during which he ordered the sundae and wondered, "If I gave you another thousand [...]

E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart Win – Joe Scores K Mart!

HUUUUGE WIN!!!!! Steve, I just wanted to drop you a quick note. The EZ Built Hot Dog cart has been on the street in Sioux Falls, SD for about 6 weeks and business is awesome. We have a normal location at a busy intersection and sell Nathan’s 1/4 lbs All Beef Hot Dogs and some brats and polish sausages. One day a guy drove up on a motorcycle and “begged” us to bring the *Dog House*, (that’s the name of the cart) to his business. I asked him if he had traffic in his store and he said he did. He would not charge us anything and the exposure would be great. I said we would give it a shot on a Saturday. I asked him what store he managed and he said “K-Mart” on the west side of […]
