I am speaking, of course, about the guy with the hot dog cart who hangs out outside Gaia HQ in the afternoons and sells us the finest hot dogs in the city.
I think his name is Dave, which is also my name.
He doesn't just steam them or put them on one of those spinny-things, he actually has a grill on his hot dog cart. He likes to boast that it's not just a hot dog stand but a MOBILE KITCHEN (the only one in the city). He says that grilling the hot dog gives you that "POP" when you bite into it. He's told me this a dozen times, at least, and he's righter every time he says it.
My favorite hot dog is the Louisiana Hot Link, which is just spicy enough to singe the palate.
God bless you, Hot Dog Guy.

I remain as always a loyal advocate of the smoked brat. Once I bit into that juicy specimen of pure meatliness, I knew I had found the perfect dog for me.

The smoked bratwurst has the perfect balance of spice and juiciness. Let's all give a round of applause to Dave the hot dog guy.

I appreciate the hot dog guy, for his true entrepreneurial spirit, simplicity of his product line, commitment to quality, consistent delivery of expectations, passion, and personal hygiene.
Great businessmen are not only just those who can spot opportunity, but also they are the ones who have the courage, fortitude, and temerity to succeed. It was once said that a true entrepreneur jumps off a cliff and builds his wings on the way down. (Not sure what that means though)
We may be on the top floor, but we continuously look up to our street level hot dog guy.
Buena Suerte Hot Dog Guy.

I have consumed many hot dogs around the world; but none have tasted as sweet as the dogs served by Dave the Hot Dog Guy. My refined palate can only find solace in his special Hot Links with Garlic on Toasted Buns.

I'm merely a developer. I write in broken fragments consisting of arcane symbols and misplaced punctuation. In a setting where one counts bytes, and terse, concise expression of solutions is praised above all else, it's rare that I aspire to loquacity.
But, Dave the Hot Dog Man, you move me.
An ode to your cylindrical carne de deliciouso:
Weiner, beautiful triton of Gods,
Son of Pan,
We consume, hunger-driven,
Heavenly, thy satiation.
Thy magic powers reunite
What work's sword has divided
Beggars become Princes' brothers
Where thy steaming grille abides.
Be loyal, millions!
This gift to the entire world!
Coworkers - among the asphalt canopy
A loving father must dwell.
Whoever has had the great fortune,
To be a patron of Dave,
Whoever has loved the devoted Hot Dog,
Add his to our jubilation!
Indeed, whoever can call even one taco
Its equal on this earth!
And whoever was never able to masticate must creep
Tearfully away from this circle.

I live in NY so we have Hot dog carts all over. We New Yorker are very proud of our hot dogs. I can't compare NY hot dog carts vs. yours. But it sounds like he does a great job.
But I have a question towards Cashmere (David) I know you went to comic con here in NY. Did you happen to have a hot dog here?If so what did you think?

But I have a question towards Cashmere (David) I know you went to comic con here in NY. Did you happen to have a hot dog here?If so what did you think? I didn't have that opportunity. All the street vendors outside were selling klau kalash and crab juice, so I declined their wares. Next time I go to New York I'll make a point of trying their world-famous dogs, but I honestly can't see how they could hope to compete with Dave, whose savory hot links have added as much quality to my life with their spicy perfection as they have subtracted from its length with their abundance of sodium nitrate. Tim, I may call myself a writer, but your poem shames my efforts.

The hot dog man is good people and I have written this haiku in appreciation:
the mobile kitchen
hot dog for any palate
eat and feel good

The best I had is near a street fair or away from touristic areas.Too bad there can't be a hot dog cook off .

I'd like to post my hot dog sonnet here.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My mouth can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the bun and frank create an ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of the best
With condiments I need to devour with relish
Ketchup, mustard make you oh so delish
I love thee so much I will enter a hotdog eating contest.
I love thee with versatility put to use
No matter what you always stay yummy
Cut up in pieces and plopped into stews
Dipped in cornbread to make you a mummy
Covered in chili and paired with booze
I shall but love thee better in my tummy.

Was moved to tears by Nick's haiku. I miss those hot dogs. Each time I bit into a a juicy italian sausage I felt as though I were being enveloped by the light of the gods. Here's two in memory of the hot dog man:
初臭い
風に吹かれる
焼きドッグ
The first aroma
Is blown about by the winds
of roasted hot dogs
一本を
食べてもお腹
いっぱいか
Even if you were
to eat one hot dog will it
fill up your stomach?

This guild makes my mouth water. I am a vegetarian who feels very guilty right now.
