Thanks to a buddy in the business, I have nearly sealed the deal for a hot dog cart. Stainless, propane, new fixtures, three-bin sink, etc. I need to pay my fees and get the needed jive from the Health Dept. as well. I thought that this might be a way to earn a bit of spare bread during my 'off seasons'. (Catering, like other businesses, can be eratic - you get drilled to the wall for two months straight, and then you might get ZIP for weeks..)
Several folks that I have spoken with tell me that they easily take in anywhere between a few hundred and a grand between Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Places like Sam's Club and Costco will have to be my friends now, and a friend of mine just south of here own's a rest. that I could use as my commissary.
(Yes, as foolish as it is, even if you HAVE adequate cold storage in the home, most Health Depts. just wont allow it.)
I'll also have to grease the wheels at places like Walmarts and big box stores. They technically dont ALLOW outside vendors at these places, but there are ways around this - and these places are goldmines, VERY easy to flip .75-$1.00 weiners all day and night long...
Anyhow, thought I'd share this with you guys, wish me luck! Oh, enjoy this, its great stuff!

Turn it UP! (These guys are SOLID, not just a gag band
