“It’s not just going out, buying a cart, and putting it on a corner and hoping the world will come and bang your door down and sell lots of hot dogs,” says Mark Reitman PHD, professor of hot dogs at Hot Dog University.
AT HDU, students learn everything there is to know about operating a hot dog cart down to the last detail.
Reitman began teaching others out of his home in Racine, WI. Eventually, the two-day program became so popular he partnered with Vienna Beef.
“We use a 33 page curriculum that covers everything from licensing, permits, equipment, location, products, insurance, marketing, accounting,” says Reitman.
