Hot Dog Cart News

We have a new advertiser, Quality Grills, Inc out of Detroit, MI.

In addition to hot dog carts, Quality grills makes a wide variety of BBQ’s, smokers, pig roasters, and mobile concession equipment.

Take notice of the enclosed steam table area.

This feature may help some of you out. Check out their full cart specs here.

Just so you know, like all of our advertisers Quality Grills honors my coupon which is good for $100 off any new hot dog cart that they sell.

The $100 off coupon is yours when you purchase my Hot Dog Biz 101 course. Check it out at www.HotDogBiz101.com. It’s like getting my course for free.

Now go check out that cart over at Quality Grills, Inc.

What a great solution to a problem we all have. No more excuses for that fold up table with all the junk underneath. I like this model with the back cut out so you can still access your Continue reading “Table Skirts Make Your Set Up Spiffy!”

Unreal…No, really – UNREAL!!! Don’t read this unless you want to be green with envy for at least six months. I’m not kidding.

This just in from Dave Plante:

Hello Steve,

Benny Miller, owner of Benny’s Hotdogs, prepares a customer’s lunch at his portable hot dog vending cart called The Hummer on May 1. Miller was selling hot dogs, Polish sausage and nachos from his cart at the Tuscaloosa Auto Auctions on Skyland Boulevard in Cottondale. He plans to start selling food from his cart in the downtown Tuscaloosa area this summer.

Many people dream of having their own business. Ben Miller of Northport took it a step further. His idea for a business came to him in a dream.

In his dream, Miller said he saw himself with a Continue reading “Benny’s Hot Dogs In Tuscaloosa Is Literally A Dream Come True.”

Unless you are Chuck Norris, cutting onions with a knife will leave you bawling like a toddler.  Don’t do it.

This is the dicer I use and love.

It’s inexpensive and makes quick work of an otherwise tearful task.  Get one here.

Just cut the onion in half, place it on the grate and close the lid. Open it up and chop another one.

When you have enough simply pop out the green thingy (yes that’s the technical term for it) and dump your perfectly diced onions into a baggie or tupperware.

Clean up is easy with the included comb thingamabobber (sorry for getting all technical again).

Just comb out the leftovers from the white upper presser thing (yeah, I know, I know…) and wash with soap and water.

This thing rocks.

What do you use? Tell us in the comments!
