That sounds great. Like a Western Bacon Dog.

Aliantha · 03-01-2009, 09:20 PM

Yeah...they're good. The bacon and stuff covers up the taste of the frankfurt. lol (the sausage that goes in the middle of the bun. That's what we call them over here)

Polish sausage, brown mustard, a bit of ketchup, sauerkraut, all on a nice, sturdy bun. Something kaiserish, none of those wimpy standard dog buns.

Radar · 03-01-2009, 09:31 PM

In Chicago they use poppyseed buns.

For what it's worth, I still think "Devil Dogs" is a bad marketing idea. You've got a lot of fundies down there in Florida, and it's completely believable that they would not just avoid buying your product but actively spread the protest. Plus, the Hot Dog Heaven people might not be interested in any sort of contests or friendly rivalries, they'll probably just see it as you trying to cash in on their existing customer base. Besides, if you're going to start out by running your Uncle Manny's cart on his off-days, aren't you going to be running it under his business name anyway?

I don't see using a playful lil' devil as anything even the most twisted and warped fundamental Christian would be offended by something so cute, and lovable. It's a hot dog with horns for Pete's sake.

I'm talking about something like these pics, but with a hot dog. I just don't see how anyone could be offended.

You may be right about Hot Dog Heaven not being interested unless I grow to a chain of brick and mortar stands of my own. Then they might see me as a real player.

As far as uncle Manny's cart goes, that's just for my training. I'll do that for a month or two at the most before buying my own cart and doing this all the way.

Just FYI Radar, you'd be surprised.

Two years ago I ran the first annual Devil's Dash. It was a cross country run at Halloween. I ran it mostly because of the logo design that was on the T-shirts. Alas, I apparently was in the vast minority. The race co-oordinator got so many bad reviews of the name/logo that he changed it to Muddy Monster.

At least now I have a one of a kind T-shirt and award.

FWIW, I have never eaten at any of the carts that pepper the ped mall downtown here. Because? Well, it just makes me nervous frankly. The people serving look scuzzy, so I honestly just don't trust their food. I might try something though if I knew of someone who ate at one regularly and hadn't gotten sick, or I knew the guy preparing the food.

Make sure you and that cart are sparkling clean if you want my business. :

The cart I am going to use is very clean and professional looking and I will keep it that way.

I will also make sure I look clean and professional looking.

I'm nervous about being sued so I am thinking of using a 3 word alliteration for the name of the business.

Here's what I've got so far.

Dante's Devil Dogs

or

Delicious Devil Dogs
Decadent Devil Dogs
Delightful Devil Dogs

or non-alliteration

Devil Dog Red Hots

Red Hot Devil Dogs

Of these which do you like the best?

classicman · 03-01-2009, 10:07 PM

I agree with Clod. "Devil" anything is probably not a good idea in FL.

You have readily admitted in the past that you have difficulty with this in a wide variety of scenarios. You don't see how anyone could have ever voted for Bush, you don't see how anyone could disagree with you on clear Constitutional issues... you've got to keep reminding yourself that there are people in the world who think differently than you do, and that they are far more numerous than you imagine. You dropped out of the homeschool supply business because you learned the hard way that the majority of your clients were fundamental Christians. Don't make the same mistake again--appeal to every customer who has money, not just the ones you like.
