Video: Grillwalkers Spotted in Berlin.

A few months ago, I posted one of the first pictures ever taken of an elusive new species of street vendor – the Grillwalker. Now we have video!

Apparently multiple grillwalkers have been sighted in Berlin, selling wurst (sausages) to locals and tourists alike.

The first grillwalker was spotted in 1997 after Bertram Rohloff invented the contraption to get around local street vending laws. As long as nothing touched the ground, no permits were required.

The Grillwalker franchise is growing in Germany, with Mr. Rohloff hiring subcontractors to wear the devices in Berlin and other cities.

What do you think – great idea, or just a novelty? Would you strap one of these things on? Will we see grillwalkers in New York, Chicago, or L.A. anytime soon?

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Thanks Hannalisa and Tom for bringing this to my attention!

WEIRD Hot Dogs… Woah!

HDCN reader Andrew Sawyer tipped me off to these hot dog creations.  There are some creative folks out there!  Some of these are not hot dog cart – friendly, but they’re all worthy of home cooking for the family.  Except for the last one – yuck!

Here we go…

 

Spaghetti Dogs – Looks like it was made in the Play-Doh Fun Factory press.  The creation of this meal is actually not very labor intensive: Simply puncture slices of raw hot dog with uncooked spaghetti noodles and boil. Continue reading “WEIRD Hot Dogs… Woah!”

King of Hot Dogs Oscar Meyer Dead

Oscar G. Mayer, the retired chairman of one of America’s best known hot dog and cold cut producers, Oscar Mayer Foods, has died at the age of 95.

Founded by German immigrant Oskar Ferdinand Mayer in 1989, Oscar Mayer were one of the first cold cuts manufacturers to start branding their products in 1904, and in 1906 amongst the first companies to voluntarily submit to the newly created Food Safety Inspection Service for testing the purity of their products.

Red Onion Sauce Inventor Alan Geisler Dies at 78

hot dog cart red onion sauce

If you are from New York, or have ever visited, you no doubt know about the “red onion sauce” that graces Sabrett hot dogs served from hot dog carts on the streets of the big apple.  This famous concoction used to be made independantly by each cart owner and the recipe varied from person to person.

That changed in 1964 when Gregory Papalexis, now the owner of the Sabrett brand approached Geisler to create a standardized version of the sauce, which is made from onions, olive oil, and tomato paste.  The condiment was a great success and the two men formed a company called Tremont Foods to distribute it under the brand names “Tremont Foods” and “House of Weenies”.

The sauce which is made in Brooklyn generates several million dollars a year in sales.
