Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!
First, I just gotta say WOW!!! There were so many awesome ideas submitted by you ultra-creative slingers.
Picking a winner was really tough.
A lot of the best entries involved photos and while that would be difficult to do in a contest setting, it is still a lot of fun to read them and find out more about what everyone in our community is up to. So thanks for those!
If you have a photo that you think would be of interest to our group, or one that could become the basis for an article here at HDCN, please email it to me and I’ll probably end up featuring it (and you) in this newsletter.
Without further ado, our winner is…
UncleVic // Jul 21, 2011 at 4:19 am Unique names for your dogs… (One of my favorites is the Contractor dog, served plain and you add your toppings).
Vic’s idea was inventive, informative, educational, and simple to implement. It is also something we can all use in our businesses.
As a matter of fact, I am getting ready to do a total makeover on my cart as well as revamping the public image and marketing materials for my own hot dog vending and catering business. After five years it’s definitely time for a facelift!
So Vic’s idea will be the basis for a contest the next time I come back from vacation with nothing more creative than a faked body building photo… LOL!

Steve, I may never win anything but guess what, I was on TV again with my cart, Channel 6 News WJBF on National Hotdog Day!! Free advertising, love it.

Good!! Good!!
Thanks Steve! This is beyond awesome!!
WTG, Vic! Great idea. OK, Steve, we’ve got the contest idea contest out of the way. Now how about using that as a contest. Pick the most unique names for hot dog combos.
One of my favorites: A field of black eyed susans. (Simply mustard and relish.)
Vic’s idea is a fun one that we have been using since we opened. We started with the Sinatra (the classic Frank), we have a Blago for our Chicago Style, a Dog Bite for our spicy dog with horseradish sauce…you get the idea. It’s been fun. We joked around with our Deficit Dog this weekend with a picture of an empty bun!
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Hey Steve!
Again I wanted to thank you! Package arrived here safe and sound Saturday afternoon! (Of course it would arrive 1 hour before I had to be to work, and of course I was almost late because of that! lol).
You have no clue on how badly I wanted to read your book. And your no BS, straight out talk makes it worth every penny you offer it for! Unbelievable amounts of info packed in there… And yes, I did jump right to the “Big Secret”.. (And yes, I will keep the secret to myself).
Now to scrape up some change here and purchase your cart building package… Hopefully be able to purchase it within the next month, and get out of the kitchen I work at now and have my own! (I work as a Chef, but pay down here in Florida SUCKS).
I have so many ideas on marketing and product when it comes to hot dogs that I need to put them out there.. Winning this book was the “Sign” I needed to evolve and change my career path… You have no clue on how much you have inspired me… Again, Thank You!
