Then you've used the wrong mustard.

Here in Chicago, it's a strongly held belief that ketchup does not belong on a hot dog.

dar is right about ketchup on a hot dog. In Chicago, only children do that.




Merc,

I'm in Central, FL between Orlando and Gainesville. Bought a 3,000 square foot house cash for $70k, and I'm putting another $30k cash into fixing it up into a very nice place.

Between the house insurance and property taxes, I'll be paying less than 200 a month and I've got my own well so I don't have to pay for water.

Last year I paid off all my debts to credit cards, student loans, car payments, etc.

So now I have no rent or house payment, no credit card payments, no student loan payments, no car payments, etc. I could get by on pretty much nothing. My wife could support all 3 of us on the money she makes doing nails...which ain't much.

I figured this would give me a chance to make the hot dog biz work out well, but as luck would have it, I may have an IT job out here making the same money I made in Los Angeles. It's a swing shift job so I'll have the day time to run my cart. Even without the really good job, I'd be able to save a ton of money by just running the cart, but if I do both, I'll be one tired...and financially secure....man.

I'm still getting used to the weather. I've never sweat so much in my life.

That's because there's no room once you get all that other crap on there...

There is way too much going on up there!

This is a hot dog. Plain. Simple. Perfect. No "smoky" or "red hot" or some german word implying it's either "beef-stuffed pork" or "pork-stuffed beef."

A touch of plain old yellow mustard OR some shredded cheddar (not melted) would be acceptable.

I will never write a book entitled "Adventures in Eating."

Surely you will have some ketchup available for those of us children who like it?

How hard honey??? All you have to do is ask... every time I've managed to provide... ohhh I guess you me for everyone else in Texas... yes it is a sad thing... texas is not know for its hot dogs... chili dogs maybe, but that is another beast.

Personally, Im loving the horseradish and saurkraut dogs... mmmmm a spicy pungent kick in the nose..... for all you wasabi lovers out there trust me on this one... it is a similar kick and pretty damn tasty.

Of course. I'm not from Chicago or in Chicago. I sell what the people want.

Though I'm considering only having Coke products rather than both Coke & Pepsi.

Good lad. I hate it when there's only Pepsi products....

although we (summer outdoor pool) found that the best way for pop is to shop at the grocery stores when they have sales and just sell whatever they have cheap. better prices than contract or wholesale prices. For example this week you can get 60 cans of coke or pepsi for $11. So we stock up on that deal.

We always do our brats or sausage with kraut and a horseradish based mustard. I rarely eat a regular dog anymore. To whimpy.

That's a hell of a deal, how is that packaged? 10 six packs? 5 twelve packs? 2 thirty can cubes?
