Chili Dogs

My chili dogs are famous around these parts. People come up to me on the street and tell me they LOVE my chili dogs. One day I sold 5 pounds of chili (that's a LOT) before 11AM! The record for eating chili dogs in one sitting is 7. The guy was a skinny dude-130 pounds tops and he WOOFED them down.

In honor of the great chili dog, I made this motivational poster over at big HUGE Labs.

Bye Bye Winter- Hello Breakfast!

Friday's "warm" and sunny 40 degree weather brought the near return of brisk business to the Hot Dog Truck. After freezing my butt off for the past three weeks with one or two "nearly good" sales days, Friday's weather brought some of the "cube dwelling crowd" out for lunch and drove sales past their minimum acceptable level for the first time since the last week of January.

It looks like we're done with arctic blasts until next winter (so sez the local weather media) so business should return to acceptable levels until next Thanksgiving.

In three short weeks it will be April and historically, that's when business starts to crank up. A typical day in season has me slinging dogs from 10:30 AM until about 1:30 PM with few breaks in the action. I like being busy-the day goes faster and the money is good.

Also, beginning Monday, April 2, 2007 I will open for breakfast! Hot dogs will be available as will a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel or english muffin. I'll also serve up grilled muffins and bad coffee! And remember-chili dogs aren't just for breakfast anymore....
