Hot dog vendor plusWho’s Carl?

Carl is a fellow entrepreneur, hospitality industry expert, a kind man with just over a year in the hot dog slinging business.  Carl purchased a Big Dog Cart and has been slinging weenies and lobster rolls ever since.

The Economy

or needing an extra job wasn’t Carl’s motivating force.  You see Carl already has a Bed & Breakfast, a restaurant, an equipment company and a wholesale seafood company and is a well known Executive Chef.  He also has children and helps out overseas and his goal was to create another source of revenue for his family after being inspired by other vendors in Indonesia.

A year ago, Carl sent me some samples of his smoked seafood.  Holy Cow!  It was awesome.  You must try it.  Deliciousssssssss-ness.

I did the lobster rolls too!  Not off my cart but I did make them after learning how it’s done by Carl.  Here is the article I wrote awhile back with a picture of my New England Rolls and hot dogs.
