This amazing man... hot dog vendor... FROM the first person in his entire family *and only one still - to own their own home... to being a dad 7 days a week... from thinking that prison was in his future... to focusing on being home and being at... and with the wife and kids always.
This man.. Harley (real name)... inspires me! He has been vending on a Cash Cow® hot dog cart for 11.5 years and he shares his testimony. My eyes leaked a little.

    What a fun interview. You have done so much good for so many people Ben. Over the years I have appreciated you so much and the encouragement you have given me and others. It has been five years since I have done any real vending because of health issues in my family and I am needed and now being a grandma is the biggest thing in my life. I have an eight year old grandson who has been touched with the bug helping me with the little I have done. I am designing a lemonade stand for him and will get it built here in the next little while. I am still working on my latest concession trailer and will send pictures when done. Thanks for being you.

      No one said vending is easy. Some people find a great spot right out of the gate, and others have to look around. I would suggest you not commit a whole year to a location before you know how it will produce. Remember hot dog carts and food trucks are mobile.

I think you have said in another video that it is best to use canned chili. We tried the Hormel No Bean hotdog chili but it's not very good. Where can we find good quality canned chili or do most vendors make it on the cart or at their commissary?
