[@frankpappalardo630]

Great video great music

[@KustomKrosses]

I love the preparation and pride you take my guy! People take notes. Do it to the best of your ability or don't do it at all

[@dawnmariecastellanos4395]

Love the cart !!!! Great system!!! Love the flip top containers!!! Can’t wait to see you in action, !!!!

[@lanfordmims5080]

So glad to see your hot dogging videos up and running. Keep um coming!😊

[@martyjackson4806]

Dan. Get yourself a wheel lock for that cart. Two would be even better. I've had a utility trailer disappear in the night on me.... Got wheel locks on all my trailers now. There always still where I left them.

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Great idea!

[@ExploreAmerica]

Thoughtful video thanks

[@papascateringstreetfood2173]

I will need to watch your use of the flip lids. Best wishes.

[@marc-mv1kf]

Looks nice Dan, your making me hungry. Good job

[@DarkroomZombie]

I like those kind of lids on pans, wish my area allowed those type of lids.

[@mrbrisket6794]

I set up my steam table after your old set up

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Yeah... this one is basically the same. The dogs and buns are just switched.

[@belizegirlmajic9906]

Blessings love your channel ,music and just the good vibes your sending out Blessings I'm praying your prosperous in all your doing

[@cesarbejarano7363]

Dan, great content. I began my research to start up a Dog Cart here in central Cali. Your video is very much appreciated.

[@MacDaddysDawgz]

Lookin' good brother .. can't wait to see you slingin' dogs again!

[@MacDaddysDawgz]

Personally I'd reverse the dogs and buns pans. Have the buns to the left and dogs to your right with the chili and cheese in between. That's pretty much how I got mine setup. You can also use those other pans for smoked sausages if you wanted to add to your menu. Or if you do catering you can use those two pans for like meatballs and philly cheese steak for subs.

[@MacDaddysDawgz]

Do you have a smoked sausage that you sell?

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

I do not... Im strictly hot dogs at the moment. 🌭

[@MacDaddysDawgz]

@@HotDoggingwithDan Go to Sams and see if your Sams Club has the Sunset Farms Georgia Smoked Sausages. If they do buy a pack and try them out. People love them! I sell them for $5 each all day! I sold 10 today ;)

[@jimtrotter4359]

Looking good Dan.

[@GingerbreadMan996]

Awesome setup dude. Good luck with everything.

[@Unominious]

I knew 2 hotdog sellers one setup at a VA hospital and the other went around to different location everyday for lunch at warehouses.

[@michaelkelliejohnson9429]

Time to try the location voted on by your viewers. Go for it !!

[@melvinjohnson7981]

Awesome Dan!

[@dontheideaguy]

The flip-top pans look good. I saw some reviews on Ben's site that were pretty critical of them, but they look like they fit well and close flat in your video. You happy with them? I'd also like to see a video about how you weighted the cart for towing -- I caught a glimpse of the cinder blocks in the burner area and would appreciate some insight into how you balance the cart for towing. Thanks, man -- glad to see you bringing some hot dogging videos back!

[@wendellmonster6179]

Happy new year Dan🎊. Your new hotdog cart looks fantastic! ! Congratulations! 2021 will be a profitable year for you. I hope Anthony is doing well take care Dan Sue

[@MsLori1973]

I s9ld mine a few yrs ago i never shoukd a did that. But they requested hot water on carts n back then anazin woukdnt send them to ontario. Crazy now i can get everything. I got an rv class c. But i think i may start as a pop up tent tyoe deal with the rv first n then i got more cash to build out the rv

[@lanfordmims5080]

In your video you had two concrete blocks on top of a small piece of wood, what was the purpose for that?

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

It was just to add some weight to the cart so it pulled better.

[@anonymousrebel6614]

Hmmmm...about storing your tongs...perhaps installing a rail between your handels might do the trick! Or attach a ring to the left or right side of your cart so you can slip the tong in like a holster...think cowboy gun slinging! My imagination at 3am! Great cart btw, I'm close to getting mine from Ben as well but I'm debating on the flip cover!

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Great ideas! I'll look into them. Ben has some great carts. Im partial to the flip top pans because its what my leased cart has, so its what I've always used. Its just what im used to. I know some people that prefer the removable lid pans for the same reason. Its just what they are comfortable with. I like not having to worry about moving pan lids out of the way every time I make a dog though. I just flip it over with my tongs and do what I need to do. Its fast and easy for me to have the flip top pans.

[@thejeffneville]

Looks great Dan - when do you think you'll go out for your first time with the Big Dog?

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Not sure. Im meeting with the people that I lease a cart from to work at the beaver. Im going to try to work something out with them where they will allow me to use my own cart in their "zone" until Covid restrictions are lifted and I can make enough to pay them again. We shall see.

[@thejeffneville]

@@HotDoggingwithDan ... cool.. and Happy New Year!

[@aljames7082]

Hi Dan. I'm happy to see you with your new cart. In NYC there are thousands of hot dog carts and everyone of them uses the hinged lids, they're much faster to operate. Some of them flip those lids around so fast it's like they're playing the drums! What are you planning to do with the grill? Are you going to continue with the dirty water dogs (my favorite being from NY) or are you going to start grilling them?

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Definitely keeping the dirty water dogs! Its much more efficient than the grill. Ill probably use the grill for brats and burgers later down the road. I LOVE the hinged lids. They are a LOT faster.

[@jarviseskridge9787]

Do you season your water when cooking hotdogs

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Of course

New sub over here.future hotdogeer . cool channel

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Thanks for watching and subscribing!!! WELCOME!

[@scottf5535]

I use lift off lids and a roll top over my steam pan. Steam sausages and buns under the roll top. Dogs in regular pans. I will be watching to see how those flip tops work for you. Sling on!

[@kevinconman3607]

Hi Dan Just subscribed think your vids are great pal , thinking of setting up my own hot dog card in the UK any advice .......

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Keep it simple

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

I use the size pan's that were on your far right chili and cheese or otherwise I'd run out of both, but I have regular nachos=white chips with cheese and jalapeno's ( chili optional ) Frito pie which is obviously chili and cheese with onions and jalapeno's. Doritos with cheese and jalapeno's ( chili optional ) So I'm about to go up in price on all my nachos because I've been letting everyone load up on all toppings for the same 3 buck's to build some customers up but new year new changes

[@HILLBILLYSFIREWOOD]

Hey hey

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Hey there!

[@lanfordmims5080]

Dan how deep are your chili and cheese pans, plus did the HEalth dept approve the hinged lids? I’ve heard some HD won’t approve a cart with hinged lids, because bacteria can build up in the hinges.

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

The chili and cheese pans are 6 inches deep. My other approved cart that I lease has hinged pans, so that won't be a problem here. Ive heard a few people say that they aren't allowed to have them in their area.

[@lanfordmims5080]

Hot Dogging with Dan so do you put those round chili and cheese pans in the new 6 inch pans? Or do you just put all your chili and cheese in the new pans only. Sorry I’m sorta confused just wondering what you did with those round pans, just put them storage?

[@malothe1]

Is the tongue on the trailer an issue? Do you have to hop over it?

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Not an issue at all. Its removable, so I can take it off and slide it under the cart when I set up at a location.

[@junkcarz4720]

How u make your hot dog dirty water What type if chill u use where u get it from

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Dirty water is made by mixing different types of ingredients to the hot dog water to add flavor. I use Hormel chili, no beans.

[@junkcarz4720]

@@HotDoggingwithDan do they sell the chill in big cans what ingredients are you using for your dirty dogs

Are you still in the Indy area? I would love to get some tips on getting started in my hometown.

I dont know why I'm just now seeing this!!! I'm sorry! Yes, im in Indy. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

[@lanfordmims5080]

Dan, when you bought those pans from Ben Wilson did you have to join the Hot Dog Mafia to get the lowest price?

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

No. Im not in the Hot Dog Mafia, so I did not get the lower price. I paid full price.

[@aleetee2003]

Careful with the copyright music man. I know how KZbin and UMG is.

[@gfpiper]

id never serve BAR-s dogs! The worst!

[@HotDoggingwithDan]

Its NOT what I serve to customers. It was just a cheap pack of dogs for the sole purpose of testing the cart.

[@Floridabruce1960]

Beef dogs I hope. Anything other than beef is garbage.
