What is your favorite Dog?

What you ask is my favorite dog? Many of my customers ask often about what dog I prefer. Quite frankly, I like many dogs, cheddarwurst bursting open on a seasoned grill, topped with mustard, ooozing with cheese in a snappy natural casing. I also love sabretts, nicely steamed hot dogs in Southern Florida.. yes, I went to Florida this year and found a hot dog vendor on the causeway to Sanibel Island. He had a simple set up and a very worn out cart, he needs a new one so I gave him my card...lol but his dogs were great. He says he retired from selling hot dogs for awhile, missed the people and the work so he went back to doing it. I bet it can get pretty hot in the Florida sun at times. Not like Indiana. What do hoosier's like? What is their favorite dog? Well, hoosier's will differ as much as any other geographical place as to what they really like the best but most of them agree that they want their hot dogs burnt to a crisp and moistened with chili and cheese. These little delicacies have been selling well from my hot dog cart for over 10 years. Every time they ask me to burn their dog I have to laugh about the genuine Chicago folks who would roll over with total dismay about the hoosiers burning their hot dogs on purpose. We are only 3 hours away, but different in culture and taste. We are looking for your favorite recipes.. do you like them with sweet slaw southern style? Do you like a sweet bbq sausage and pickles with onions? Tell us.. what is your favorite, what do you crave? Until next time... I'll be doggin it and tellin you all about it. "The Weenie Queen"

June 2009 Hot Dog Cart Events

Wow, it's now June. The last time I posted I was feeding like 250 kids. Since that time we fed a group of 300, full hot dog meals at the local Ivy Tech Community College in Fort Wayne Indiana. Saturday, a private event. Tyler's graduation party. Tyler is special, he lives in Fort Wayne an is graduating and going off to basic training for the Marine Corp. If that alone doesn't make Tyler a special kid, he worked a few days wrapping hot dogs between his main career. His mom, Sherry and dad, Tim are a bit worried about Tyler going off to be a jarhead but I told them that if I could manage to be married to a jarhead for the last 17 years don't worry so much. God will take care of him.

We have a great summer line-up of events. June 20, 2009 at 11:00 we will start firing up the hot dogs & brats for our 21st Annual SCAN duck race in Fort Wayne Indiana. Talk about a great fundraising event ! SCAN is a society that prevents child abuse and neglect. Their mission is an important one and we are proud to be a part of it. People say it's not nice to have favorites, well at Willy Dog of Fort Wayne we love SCAN, along with Turnstone, Center for the disabled, Junior Acheivment of Fort Wayne which we will be talking about their July event coming up soon.

Also, coming soon an event to remember. My sister-in-law, Catherine Osborne is getting married. It is a glorious event, first time... great event and a fundraiser to boot. I am sure that she will convince us that "no" wedding is complete without the hot dog queen serving up some hot off the grill. The event is combined with a fundraiser to support SAFY, an organization to support children who grew up in foster care giving them the right support to integrate into society and experience a normal productive life. A very worthwhile cause. This will all happen with a heck of a party on the campus of IPFW on June 27, 11:00 am to 6pm. Bands, food and fun. Come see the fun and witness the miracles that happen on that campus.. sorry sis didn't mean that it took a miracle to get you married ! lol
