Besides, if you're going to start out by running your Uncle Manny's cart on his off-days, aren't you going to be running it under his business name anyway?
I don't see using a playful lil' devil as anything even the most twisted and warped fundamental Christian would be offended by something so cute, and lovable. It's a hot dog with horns for Pete's sake.

I'm talking about something like these pics, but with a hot dog. I just don't see how anyone could be offended.

You may be right about Hot Dog Heaven not being interested unless I grow to a chain of brick and mortar stands of my own. Then they might see me as a real player.

As far as uncle Manny's cart goes, that's just for my training. I'll do that for a month or two at the most before buying my own cart and doing this all the way.
