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.

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

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.

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.

Franks footers! make your dogs 12"......

Making a joke of their religious beliefs will not help. I'd seriously stay away from the devil - but thats just me. What do I know?
