Does this mean your family will be eating hot dogs every day for as long as you own the cart? Should we buy you a "1000 hot dog recipes" book?
The cart I really want does have a grill. It's easy to cook as you need 'em. Even with that, I'd cook a few ahead of time and keep them warm in a steam pan.

The key is not to cook too many at once. If at the end of the day I've got 5 extra dogs, I'll look for the next 5 people walking by and say...

"Hey, have you ever tried a Dante's Dog? Let me give you one...my treat. Because I know when you taste how great my dogs are, you'll be back and you'll bring a few friends."

Then I'll give a dog away for positive public relations and maybe to help a hungry homeless person.
