Ben's Walking Chili Dog

Walking tacos are a crowd pleaser and have a huge profit margin.  I love the ease of serving because I can make 3 to one of these to a Chicago Dog.  No ripped buns, no waste, just fun in a bag with lots of profit.

The walking chili dog is easy and very profitable too.  I used the above and will provide links to where I purchased everything.  You can save money on chips as this was the highest dollar thing I served in this meal.  I wouldn't normally go with organic anything but the customer who booked wanted these chips and I had to get mine at Amazon.

List Of Goods

• Garden of Eating 1.5oz bag of organic blue corn chips (about $1.00 per serving)
  [note] If your walking chili dog becomes popular, consider buying bulk chips and filling foil bags for each customer
• White cheese sauce in #10 cans Queso cheese sauce (you can buy small cans at the local grocery store) 16¢ per serving
• Dirty water hot dogs (use your choice) I used a chicken pecker and feet dog for .12¢ each – serving size about 1.5 dogs
• Castleberry's chili sauce in bulk or in individual 16oz cans from grocery store .  .21¢ per serving if bought in small sizes
• Onions diced – .09¢ per serving
• Spork – 2¢ each

As you can see my cost was about $1.70 and profit about $2.60 but I'd pre-sold 120 bags.  You can get your cost down easily by going with a normal chip and down even under $1.00 per serving by buying in bulk.  $1.08 was the lowest I could come up with if I changed my chips and bought chili in bulk.

THAT'S A PROFIT OF $3.92 per bag based on a $5.00 bag.
