Kind of hard to do one handed
Michael: that's what she said!
Nice SET up .. Keep up the great work .. God bless and stay safe ..
Love the cart and the setup. 👍🏼
Your amazing! Love it!!
I just found you on the FB group. I subscribed! 😁
Thank you!!
Absolutely great job!! I have a question if you don’t mind me asking.. if you run out of ingredients, let’s say for example the main ingredients, what can you do in this case? You ask someone to bring them to you? Or something else
Thanks in advance
It depends on the event, I tend to over prepare for every event, because I have the storage space available, but every once in a while we get unexpectedly busy. If that happens and we run out early, I’ll send someone to get more from our store. But if we run out close to the end, we consider it a win, sell what we have left and call it a day!
Something I started doing recently is bring enough to make my $$ goal, and then I’m happy when we sell out.
Great question and an even greater response.
Been cooking in a serious way for a long time , this is great video . Now I wear a anti cut glove on left hand made of stainless steel threads it flexible and when busy things slip ! I take a blood thinner so profuse bleeding is a given looks bad lol
Thanks for your videos. You give us good encouragement to work. I love your glasses, what brand are they?
I go through them so fast I could never remember. I just buy polarized mirrored glasses in the $20 range from Amazon.
Hi. First time here, I love your trailer.
Question do you require insurance on a hot dog cart similar to car insurance?
Where did you get your trailer?
That doggie lookin cool with that bow tie
Yeah but using a dog as a
Shield while u driving is animal cruelty! Bad human
First time viewer-Love your videos. What was that you were putting sprinkles on and said #1 seller? Liked and subscribed definitely don’t want to miss future videos. :)
Hot Cocoa with Whipped Cream and Sprinkles! It sells really well on cold days!
Sharp trailer. Where did you get that? Do you also have a Cart?
I do have a Cart, I'll feature it in my next Video! The trailer was purchased from a Food Truck builder in Novato, called CaliCarts!
Love that cart
Great job
A very high dollar setup!
Where can I get a trailer like yours im in southern California?
I know there are a couple of great builders down there… My trailer was designed Buy a builder here, from the ground up as opposed to an airstream conversion. I would think in SoCal your best bet is to try for an airstream conversion. But I know that there are very few people with the knowledge and skills to do that. You may have to look in another state. I know P & S trailer service does that.
are the permits expensive? What are the costs about to get started with the correct food permits? thanks.
It depends on a lot. Where you are, what kind of facility you have. Your county health department should have a “fee schedule” where you can find out exactly the permit cost. Many places waive fees entirely for veterans.
@@therealboondoggieDo you need a license to start a hot dog business ?
@@PrettyKe yes, but a license is just the beginning, you’ll need a permit from county health as well.
Where do u get your canopy cover I have same cart
Hi! Mine came with the cart. I don’t know how to go about getting a replacement, but you could start at a canvas shop maybe?
How do you have ice for drinks or do you only do can drinks
We have a separate cooler for iced down canned sodas.
Where did you buy the trailer from? I'm in central cal and people that build the trailers don't want to put a full kitchen in it and I'm like no I just need the sinks a fridge and prep space lol
I bought from CaliCarts out of Novato! Not sure if he is currently taking on new builds yet, but it doesn’t hurt to ask!
@@therealboondoggie thank you and I looked it up 20k isnt a bad price around here thy want 50k and up and its electric what I've been looking for only prob its in the bay but thank u
Looks like fun! I have 3 wiener dogs 😁 btw you can get a nut drive and use a cordless drill to lower and raise the trailer stabilizer jacks.
Great tip! 😄
What kind of cart is that ?
It’s an All American Hot Dog Cart.
@@therealboondoggie I was meaning the cart or trailer thats enclosed, looks like a mini air stream trailer ?
@@DudeHammer Oh! Yes! It’s a Custom Built Trailer, by CaliCarts in Novato, CA. It’s made to look like and airstream, but it technically isn’t one.
what is in the cup with sprinkles on top ??????
That’s Hot Cocoa! But we are getting into ice cream this weekend! I’ll make sure to post some pics in next video!
Keep up the good work out there , I'm out here in Los Angeles..you guys have a Instagram
Yes! @therealboondoggies
I’ll find you guys!
Nice cart
What kind of hotdogs do you guys use?
We use Casper Hot Dogs. They are a local Bay Area favorite. We also serve Costco brand polish dogs, Evergood Hot Links and Lockeford Sausages.
🤭 a weenie dog! Why not!
How do you keep your hands clean tho?
There’s a hand washing sink on the back of the cart. You can see it displayed in the Hot Dog Cart Tour video.
👍
Man o man that's like a real job
I’ve never worked so hard in my life 😂
Amiri King sent me
So is that bigger trailer/camper considered your commissary💁🏽♀️?
If not then I don't get the whole commissary point 🤭
I almost need to make a video to express my thoughts on this… 😂
Our commissary is actually a local restaurant, I did a video about it awhile back, but the point is to have a place to service your food facility. Clean, refill, hold cold food, prep food etc…
The Health Department doesn’t trust operators to keep their homes clean enough, and/or they can’t inspect everyone’s home. The answer really depends on who you ask.
Since you asked me…. I may just make a whole video on it… I’ll try it to get fired up. ❤️🔥
@@therealboondoggie Omg girl thank you for that prompt response! You are so awesome! I did start watching that video...the one where you were driving to your local commissary, and my 6 year old decided he wants to change it and watch Ninja Turtles.
I have been seriously considering becoming a vendor here in Las Vegas and start out with humble beginings like you did with a cart...I started to watch your videos in backwards order. So I want to start from the beginning.
Between you and Ben the Hot Dog guy my mind has been blown away with all the work there is to do 😳 but I'm not scared to do hard work always done it. LOVE the work that you are doing and as a female entrepreneur an inspiration to the rest of us gals!
Yes share a video on your thoughts about a commissary because up until that point, I was all in, like deal me in Vegas Style, but to have a commissary just take my money every month?! Girl I just don't know now...
@@dollpins1574 Ninja Turtles take priority for sure!!! 😍
It’s a lot more than I thought I was going to have to do, but there are definitely more ways to get it done than the Health department would like to tell you about.
The best advice I can give you, is persevere!! The juice is worth the squeeze!!
Hello i want to start by saying your awsome and a inspiration...I look up to you and jelious of your drive..with that said I have a apt to see my 1St hot dog cart today at 630..im also in california about 2 hrs away from you..can i expect to sell at least 50- 100 hot dogs a day? I Dont mind putting in the yard work just want a idea if of what to expect ..I know its hard to awnser that question but I Dont no who else to ask lol...
Hi Titus!
It really depends on your location. If you choose to go the daily lunch at determined locations route, you can certainly build to that amount. Consistency is key for that path. Consistent locations and times, allowing for regulars, and building a customer base. It’s rare to get lucky and hit those numbers right away.
We are more in the Special events category, and over the years I’ve come to know which events will bring me that kind of volume and more, and which ones don’t.
The best advice I can give, is to just get started, and decide what you like best, and what pays you best, but it will take time. Hope that helps!
Very surprised the health department allows the dog , mine does not.
I was thinking where is that allowed
Thank you for the video. I thought you would speak about the amount spent compared to your profit. I just want to see if that is something I may want to do as well.
That’s a great idea for a video! I’ll have to do one this weekend! Keep an eye out!
Is this a hobby?
Never seen a 12 minute short...
This is different ok sub
Nice dicing of the onion.....
Hot dog chili isn't supposed to have beans
Far out your a machine ❤
Weiner owners different breed.... Poor girl
Nice buns
I'm in fast food..Do you make a decent living doing this?
Yes!! We have reinvested every dollar, but the bills are always paid. Put it this way, my husband was able to quit his job to work with me full time, and we’re doing fine so far!
@@therealboondoggie Good..I do well working fast food..It's a myth that we get paid minimum wage..
🌭 I sure Wood. Love 💗 too. Bee 🐝 the big Weiner for your 🔥. Buns ! # Redwood !!
Canned Chili?!
We go through 2400 ounces of chili per week… sometimes more.
If I could afford $1000 a week to rent a commercial kitchen and pay someone full time to do nothing but make chili, I would.
But I can’t. So canned it is. 👍🏻
people and their dogs man
Audio compression
@donhgr stop complaining and watch the vid man
I just can't watch vertical videos.
Won't be buying no food from animal lovers. 😊
You lost me with the canned chilli
You should never cut up your onion before you put it on the hot dog the onion soaks up all the bacteria from the air always cut up your onion fresh while you're putting it on the dog.
Wished for less driving and more set up. Thanks though.
To much small talk don’t care about your dog get on with the subject
No one forced you to watch her video, Steve.
