Hot dogs are, of course, the most important product for a hot dog stand vendor. How do you put your hot dog menu together? Here are some tips on menu variations:
1) Offering basic frankfurters is great but these days customers may request Polish sausages, kosher hot dogs or vegetarian dogs. Listen to your customers and adjust accordingly.
2) In general you can’t go wrong with top brands like ‘Vienna Beef’ although local suppliers may also have some great products to offer.
3) Offer double dogs for meat lovers and hot dogs without a bun for those on low carb diets.
4) There are many different regional styles. Find out how to prepare a ‘Chicago style’ or ‘New York style’ and consider promoting these as a way of making your stand unique in your area.
5) Hot dogs can be boiled or grilled.
6) Don’t forget that buns are a key ingredient too. Look for fresh, locally sourced products.
7) Combinations of toppings and sauces are endless. Find out what toppings are permitted under your license. Some toppings or sauces are popular in different states such as ‘red onion sauce’ in New York.
