Friday was a better day :)

Well I survived my first week on the dog-cart :)

My cheese dogs were "da-bomb" as the boys put it; many came back for seconds after they decided it was a winner. It even seems to be my son's favorite so far.

Sabrett red onion sauce is nearly impossible to find around here (unless you order it on-line and pay shipping etc)... and I have it (tee-heee) Those who have tried it, love it, and also come back for more.

There were many more guys (and family) on the field tonight than earlier in the week when I've gotten so discouraged. And they were nicer too! They told me that on Fridays they like to hang around, watch some of the other games, have a few beers (which -ahem- are not allowed on the field), and have a good time... which meant that lingering around with their own personal dog cart just added to the fun.

I haven't counted the cash yet, but it is definitely better than the other weekdays and I expect will be even better next week when they know I'll be there (they asked). I look forward to it.

It was also my first night working by myself... doing the dogs and handling the cash. My husband, son, or in-laws were around to help before. It was OK and I didn't feel overwhelmed or flustered (but then again, it wasn't a Sunday either). All in all, I think I'll be keeping the Sundays and Fridays... I'll do the other two weekdays to see if there's any improvement, but I'm not holding my breath!

Tomorrow, I'm looking for my chili (for Sunday chili dogs!!)

Janski, I enjoy your reports. Glad to see your doing well. The more you put in the more you get out.

good for you.
Good luck and enjoy.

You sound nice and upbeat I'm glad you're feeling like things are working out.

Thanks for reporting back on the ups and downs there! Love your reports! Thanks...

Do you heat up the Sabretts Onion sauce or serve it cold?

Nice to see it worked out finally Jans, take it all with the ups and downs, just as long as it's fun, thats all that matters, you meet a great amount of people doing this, and we think its a blast! Serve good stuff, and they'll love ya! again, good luck!!!

Good ideas! I enjoy your reports.

Sorry.. thought I answered your question (BillK86)..

I serve the Sabretts hot!

And I'm starting to get the Boston Red Sox boys here asking for the New York red onion sauce... which they initially cringed about!! They said, "can't you call it Fenway Sauce, or Boston Sauce??"

I tell them that if they sold it in Boston, the Sox would be unbeatable... though they nearly are already anyway

Until then, it will be called my NY red onion sauce (no one knows what a "Sabrett" is around here...

Maybe you could have a seperate container of the same sauce and label it "Fenway Sauce Supreme", and tack on a 10% premium.

LOL... I LIKE that^ Don't think the idea will fly well, but I like the concept.

Just like when the umpires come sashaying by the cart looking for freebies... cuz they are umps.... and I have to tell them that umpires actually have to pay TWICE And before they turn TOO quickly away from the cart, I have to snicker a bit and tell them I'm kidding

My bad!!
