You could open one at a golf course called "Radar's Links."

Huckleberry (Hound) Hot Dawg Cafe.
Augie's Doggies.
Daddy's Doggies.

These could used with caicatures of the cartoon dogs.

I was just thinking about the number of times the NAME has influenced me to buy a hot dog from a cart.

Good point.

Radar, you need to have a DOG playing a trumpet on a hat or something. Seeing the dog play the trumpet will draw people closer.....to see what the fuck that is on your head.....and then you will influence people to buy the hotdogs.

I know, *that's* good slang.

Lucky Dogs is a fixture in New Orleans that you might be able to get some ideas or help from. A lot of history there as well.

I can't believe no one has commented on Elspode's "Weenie Wodeo." That's genius.... pure genius!

Elspode · 11-17-2004, 11:13 PM

I appreciate that, Garnet. I especially appreciate it coming from you, for whom hot dogs must pretty much be the Antichrist of *all* meat-based food products. Really.

Radar · 11-17-2004, 11:21 PM

I liked Weenie Wodeo too, but it's more for kids birthday parties.

Dog Pound. Or Dawg Pound.

Names that play off of trademarked characters will get you into trouble eventually.

Thus, I do not actually offer the name "Snoop's Dog-E-Dogs."

You also might want to think about specialty toppings. If there is something distinctive that you can bring to the 'table,' you might have naming rights there too.

Deli Dogs.....upscale
Good Dogs.....folksy
Sit, Stay, Eat

wolf · 11-18-2004, 12:56 AM

Sit, Stay, Eat. is the tagline of a local restaurant (in Lansdale) called the Blue Dog Pub.

I think there is a second store up in New Britain, PA.

Awesome food, and massive beer selection.

How about "The Dog Pound". Picture of a beagle in sunglasses leaning against a wire mesh fence pound full of weiners...

Radar · 11-18-2004, 07:54 AM

Actually it could be the Dog 1/4 Pound becasue we'd have quarter pound dogs. Or call it the Dog Pound because it makes you want to eat a pound of dogs.

That would stand up in any court.

It sounds better than Junk Yard Dogs

I know I'm probably way behind here, but this just popped in my head: "Dog in a dash"

Here in NYC the reigning hot dog king is Gray's Papaya, which sells two of the best damn dogs you'll ever eat plus a drink (mmm ... papaya juice) for $2.45. I'm not sure what the history of Gray's name's is - my friend who writes for the NY Times is pitching a story to the Metro editor about hot dog wars in the city, which has seen a sprouting of Gray's knock-offs like Papaya King and Chelsea Papaya. Brooklyn apparently has some new take on the concept, but I have yet to try it.

The secret? TOPPINGS. I LOVED WaWa underdogs back in the day when they were 89 cents a pop and you could get ANYTHING on them. Three chili, cheese and onion dogs plus a magnum (44 oz) soda always hit the spot. And then some.

Radar · 11-18-2004, 08:34 AM

Damn, you're making me hungry. What's so special about Gray's Papaya dogs? Special topings? Perhaps they marinate the dogs in Papaya juice?

In L.A. we've got a place called Tommy's Burgers that make really good burgers and fries with chili and stuff and there have been a ton of knock-off places like Tammy's, Tummies, Tomy's, Tommi's, and Toms.

Those are some really cheap prices considering they're in NY. I can get $2.50 for a regular dog in L.A., $3 for a jumbo dog, and $3.50 for a Spicy Polish dog. I'll probably make some combos though. Maybe 2 small dogs and a soda or a jumbo or spicy dog, chips, and a drink for $5

I'm very interested in how they chose that name. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with dogs.

I guess I could go with Liberty Dogs and print the world's smallest political quiz on the napkins, or have different kinds of toppings on dogs like a declaration dog, or a constitution dog, etc...

The carts in NY are much smaller than the cart I'd be using. I think in NY you can actually push the carts, and mine would be pulled behind a car.

Here's the cart I'm interested in...
