Hotdog stands at fossicking areas!!

[yobskin]

Well hi guys n gals lets do a little survey...im thinking of creating a hotdog stand /franchise permitting its success at general fossicking areas....
1. Would you purchase food products from a mobile stand?
2. Where is your most frequented fossicking area?
3. How many people would you see there and when?
4. If a stand was permenantly there weekends would your fossicking increase?
5. Would the smell of food during a dig deter you from proceeding?

Imput is essential please comment .

The next hotdog stand you see could be a fellow prospector from this forum .... Stoyve

As long as you set it up over 10t of clean sand, had a cashier with the DTs and gave me exclusive rights to detecting I would be a patron.

At least I might come away with some gold every time I went out.

Sorry I'd prefer a mince or steak burger with onion and a dash of chilli sauce.

1. No, You would not find me. :lol:
2. Would you like some GPS coordinates with that.
3. No one. They would be trying to find me.
4. It would decrease as they were trying to find me. 8)

Your tongue is firmly in your cheek Yobskin?

 

[yobskin]

Hahahaha who has the time to sit in the bush cooking hotdogs waiting for the cling clang of a prospector...
Have a laugh lads wont kill ya, but my "hotdogs" might. :lol:

 

[Hiluxlou]

Hotdogs are politically incorrect, tofu or mungbeans could be a winner

 

[Metamorphic]

Lmao......That's a classic yoby.

Need to speak with you about reserve stand seating at secret patches!

Maybe we could branch out to charging iPads with our genie!

 

[Matturbo]

Can we pay with gemstone roughs?

 

[Tathradj]

I know a spot that would go down real well for this.
Oallen Ford.
As long as the charges are reasonable. :lol:

 

[stoyve]

Thanks yobskin,
I will always support a local business when possible.
You better hurry up and get down my way soon
ie:Ballarat.
I'm sure you would be a total success with only one client,
ME !!!
Bring it on, along with paramedics and an icu unit.
Cheers stoyve

Back in the 1970's and 80's there used to be hot dog vendors around Sydney city, catering to drunks. They had little steel carts on wheels that were like a small rectangular wheelbarrow, and were parked by the vendors in areas with lots of pubs. The carts consisted of a water bath for the dogs, a container for buns, and a section with watered down sauce and mustard in plastic squeeze bottles. The whole thing worked on a metho burner hidden in the inside somewhere.

The vendors were pretty desperate characters, mainly denizens of boarding houses and only one step up from the homeless warbs. It was rumoured that there was a hot dog king who organised the vendors and their territories. Needless to say, their product was not exactly haute cuisine. Dogs were of the all ears and arseholes variety. One vendor I remember had a pair of tongs that were black, pitted and corroded from retrieving the dogs from the acidic water they were warmed in.

You knew you had had a big night when you bought one, and knew you had a really big night when you enjoyed it.

I'm sure your product would be of better quality!

if your going where the masses are, then your on the money.

Or maybe not??

 

[OzzieAu]

Ever heard of the South Aussie "pie floater" ? Could send over one of our famous pie carts...... Would attract a few Croweaters...

The glory is in Vic......SA got copper, we got the gold!

Gee Whiz Doctor, that's being a bit judgemental isn't it. :/
Being a very keen follower of our great Pub Bands during the 70s & 80s I encountered many of these guys and a few girsl too.

Yeah, sure a few were a bit dodgy but the ones I patronised in many parts of Southern Sydney and Inner West were pleasant guys with clean rigs, clean utensils, nice soft fresh rolls and nice thick sauce and decent serviettes. There was never anything wrong with the dogs either and I never got crook from one but I sure have been crook from a few hamburgers and chinese feeds and club meals in me time.

They were enterprising blokes and from conversations with them they all owned their own gear. What they did have to put up with was a lot of shyte at times from some who were a bit too sozzled and unable to find or control their intelligence or manners.
