Plus, the Hot Dog Heaven people might not be interested in any sort of contests or friendly rivalries, they'll probably just see it as you trying to cash in on their existing customer base. 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.

Just FYI Radar, you'd be surprised.

Two years ago I ran the first annual Devil's Dash. It was a cross country run at Halloween. I ran it mostly because of the logo design that was on the T-shirts. Alas, I apparently was in the vast minority. The race co-oordinator got so many bad reviews of the name/logo that he changed it to Muddy Monster.



At least now I have a one of a kind T-shirt and award.




FWIW, I have never eaten at any of the carts that pepper the ped mall downtown here. Because? Well, it just makes me nervous frankly. The people serving look scuzzy, so I honestly just don't trust their food. I might try something though if I knew of someone who ate at one regularly and hadn't gotten sick, or I knew the guy preparing the food.

Make sure you and that cart are sparkling clean if you want my business. ::

The cart I am going to use is very clean and professional looking and I will keep it that way.

I will also make sure I look clean and professional looking.


I'm nervous about being sued so I am thinking of using a 3 word alliteration for the name of the business.


Here's what I've got so far.


Dante's Devil Dogs

or

Delicious Devil Dogs
Decadent Devil Dogs
Delightful Devil Dogs

or non-alliteration

Devil Dog Red Hots

Red Hot Devil Dogs



Of these which do you like the best?
