Pls clean the side of the grill keep your grill clean ! When you're not cooking a order always clean then clean then clean very important to keep your customers safe ! Keep up the hard work 👍 !

[@clipmania42]

who cares

[@WillsBullies]

@@clipmania42 obviously you don't 😂.

[@ShugaShane618]

That's flavor 😂

[@fabianandrade6571]

Stuff like this is really inspiring and shows us what we can and can’t do with such an idea 💡 love the content

[@storyyxx]

u gotta have some more enthusiasm when you interview these hard working folks brother!

[@rafinoor]

This guy was just given the questions to ask while filming. Interviewer is Probably her HUSBAND or something. Hahah, no enthusiasm and poorly scripted.

[@jeffreyg5718]

I think he does fine.

[@ARealCupcake]

I've always had a dream of having my own 50's-60's themed diner and just recently looked into a food cart as a start.

[@MarketingFoodOnline]

great video with hard work and a simple idea you can still be profitable with small food businesses even this idea! great story

[@bryanpearce4440]

I second that! "Join Vendors United"

[@brianrockhill8888]

Most states won't let you prep and cook raw products from an open cart.

[@paullukis3315]

There are ways around it, but it's limiting to what you can offer. If you befriend someone with a commercial kitchen you can rent some space to heat up hot dogs and burgers and then just keep them hot. It's not the best, but it is a work around.

[@ghoststorm7082]

I would just get frozen hamburger patties and grill them, just my preference! I’m working on starting my hot dog business come September 2024! Last thing to complete will be my managers food card!

[@cookncrook6902]

I liked the video would have loved to see a breakdown of her entire set up

[@ESJ815]

Im glad shes doing good. I might just try it out over here in California

[@xqwo.4o]

This is truly inspirational and motivational. ♥

[@alksjda]

my mom does something similar, it is VERY VERY laborious but at the same time VERY lucrative.

[@911lucy69]

Can you make a video the process you got into in regards to permits

[@Dpinks7522]

Just go to your county health department. They can tell you.

[@donnyhill9225]

Awesome congratulations, keep it going,Ben is a great mentor ,stay in touch!!!!

[@pcoco2296]

Sounds like Napoleon Dynamite is interviewing her

[@greggdesmarais4050]

She's doing raw burgers on a cart, we can't do this in North Carolina

[@OnGangsterD]

Why lol

[@jwith384]

Too hot creates a food risk

[@greggdesmarais4050]

Because health dept says no way

[@tomlavoie5227]

Neither us here in AZ. Mobile food 2 permit requires that all meats are pre cooked. Like got dogs!

[@rodlively1413]

I don't think we can do it in Illinois either, but I'm gonna find out.

[@user-fk2td7jd7t]

Nice Cart, girl!😮 You took the word's out my mouth ie it's a lot work.

[@nabi5864]

$5k gross the minus food cost, permits, kitchen rental, taxes, supplies… basically $1,500 net

[@user-fk2td7jd7t]

Nice cart! Cart is less over head, stick with the cart.❤

[@LtVictor]

Ben wilson has been a player in the industry forever

[@scottlarock6623]

In my humble opinion, the toighest thing about mobile food services is the requirement to use a commissary to prepare your food and finding availability is challenging and at times not possible.

[@mb-qj5yo]

I love watching hot dog carts good for her. Looks good. I’m wondering for the people that do this full time does it take from your daily life. How is the work life balance? I don’t know why but it looks like fun to do and simple.

[@1stClassJaY2010]

Yooooo S/0 Ben Wilson he really the 🐐 do yo homework

[@phbrinsden]

$5000/month revenue is only $60,000/year assuming no vacations etc. from the revenue must be deducted operating costs like supplies and fuel etc. this produces about $30-40,000/year actual net income from which income taxes are paid etc.

[@Stealthmuiz]

It sounds like she only does it 2-3 days a week.

[@DonJuan-up2zt]

She don't pay taxes bro.

[@SweetPotatoLadyo]

@@StealthmuizShe says in the video she does it 4-5 days a week on a typical week.

[@911lucy69]

Hi, thank you for the video. First time here.

[@rollerball1200]

In Alabama you have to be off the ground to cook raw food.

[@Tyson-u3m]

Am I the only one? 5k per month and BOTH are working? Seems like another set of Americans wanting more, not needing less. Me I can survive on 10k PER YEAR! I'm not lazy, at all, just hate EVERYTHING about having to answer to someone else or have someone else tell me, after decades of dedication, that I no longer have a job. That is worth more than ANY amount of money!

[@INTJames]

10k a year ... ok so you live outside?

[@alexramirez-zo1fx]

Living off tax payer money I see

[@noahsathletics]

Lo oooh ser

[@BamSigma]

Most people pay well over 1k per month for rent alone. My mortgage is 1300 for a small house. How would you recommend I survive on 10k per year?

[@donhgr]

Can’t do this in Colorado on a cart with raw meat, I’m going to say they just haven’t been caught yet

[@randyhubbard2391]

Not buying it do your homework people the city will charge you for the foot traffic. Place right here next to me just got a 45k bill they are ruined now

[@Monkofthecaribbean]

Thats fucked up. Back in the good ole days it was much easier to start a business and that was when this country was going uphill not down.

[@happyjjlli]

what kind of license do you need for a food cart ?????

[@mikecollins5261]

Michigan, which I guess she is from, with the right license, you can cook hamburgers. I'm not sure she'd want to move to another state. Most won't let you.

[@DeckoCasp]

I appreciate how you didn't stop with the questions. i wonder why she mentioned she wanted to move closer to tennessee so she can do it all year round. is that because thats where the guy is that sales the hot dog carts? or just weather wise?

[@mightyswag9186]

great content, keep it up guys !

[@cartoonmark75]

Did he say “costed?”😂

[@804titan]

congratulations !!! looks great !! good luck from Up top hotdogs

[@pcoco2296]

God bless use and ur business 🙏🏽

[@djeazyg5944]

How do they keep the flys away?

[@ofsoundmind143]

Exactly

[@6FigureRevenue]

Thanks for watching! What business are you working on right now?

[@CivRichieP]

good interview.

[@JulioSantana-i8k]

Its beef so thats the only meat that doesn't spoil fast in air, good for her , get your save serve license and LLC to speak about with facts... On the state that says no.. Read about beef which does not have to be fully cooked .. That's why you can go to a park or a beach and barbecue and cook outside there's nothing about that that says you cannot prep your meat and cook it outside and serve the public and make your money you can literally go to any beach cook on the grill just as long as you have a ServSafe and a LLC to sell in a business you can sit there prep and cook and sell as many Patty's as you want .. there's state local and federal and federal goes over all of them and federal law state you can do that

[@devinwilliams7576]

We need to move to where she vends….because I don’t know where you can do raw meat on a cart!

[@IvebeenEverywhere]

there is a lot of bullcrap in this video

[@travelguy111]

There is a small hot dog and hamburger restaurant not far from my house and they only take cash.

[@LJTHEGEEK]

i always have cash on me big congrats on ur biz i wish u nothing but the best

[@scottsbaitsandtackle]

It gets pretty cold in Tennessee in the winter!

[@johnbrewer2206]

Fantastic fantastic!!

[@peachcorpffj9591]

I recommend a few changes; You should do all food prep at your place of business or if you're a home business, do it in your kitchen under a better-controlled environment other than outdoors, straight from the packaging. Also, your hair should not be flying all over the place. Wear a cap, scarf, or a hairnet. FOODBORNE ILLNESS IS A REAL THING!

[@Red-Yo]

8$ for double cheese and pop ❤

[@lonnieatterbury1277]

In all the videos I just want to know where you wash your hands and dishes

[@71sc502]

Gloves

[@teecee4459]

Is she wearing the same gloves to make the raw patties and then wrap them up for consumption???

[@samanthagraffagnino9689]

The magic of movies. Many cuts during the interview and final production. I see a lot of ignorant comments here.

[@teecee4459]

@@samanthagraffagnino9689 it was a simple question, nothing ignorant about it whatsoever, did I hurt your butt snowflake? Cry some more though 😭😭😭❄️❄️❄️

[@jasonpearson7466]

[@Samantha-iw3kg]

How long was this meat staying in the sun?

[@stevenmitchell9828]

Anyone have any information on who makes that style of food cart?

[@damocles7230]

God bless her.

[@WlngsInTheWild]

What taxes and costs do I have to pay?

Every time I'm in events the hamburger is always cost $10 to $12

[@randybrown1225]

I would like to buy one how much is the burger

[@TheTruthseeker707]

May Jesus Christ bless their family and business.

[@ejutah]

Looks like she has no commissary kitchen which is mandated in most states. Reason for this is to control food bourn issues

[@JonO387]

This is great if you have a place to sell.

[@void________]

Gravel and dust burges.

[@SergioCuriel-c8t]

I wonder if their food stand get shot up with paintballs or police taking their money

[@dennispratt559]

It's so funny that lady is groping raw hamburger during the interview.😂 with no gloves

She has gloves. They are clear.

From my Mom: If I saw how filthy your grill was and you handling raw meat in the heat, I wouldn't buy a dam thing from you.

[@craigspringer4988]

You can work at McDonald's 78 hours a week.. and make the same

Who wants to work 78 hours a week? When you can work 24-30
