Hot Dog Diaries-I


Yes, it’s been a while…we know we know…But let’s not get into that….

In the first of a series, we wanna let you know how hungry hogs came about. I guess in a way it makes sense for us to recap what can only be called a roller coaster ride on a space shuttle in the middle of an asteroid belt. And yes, it is as much fun as it sounds.

But on a serious note, now that we’ve just started operations in our third branch in Whitefield, Bangalore, We wanna show you how Hungry Hogs operated when there were no branches.

Circa Aug 2009, when the three of us came up with the idea of selling hot dogs, we planned on selling them in carts all over Bangalore.


Yes,That's us working

And that's us working,when no ones looking


But not too convinced with that particular model, we felt starting off with catering at
College Fests and Concerts would make more sense. So we went about looking for college fests, and before we knew it we had three catering deals, two at New Horizon College of Engineering,  and one at Strawberry fields, at National Law School of India University (In hindsight, these two colleges have turned out to be some of the biggest grossing deals for us). Who would’ve thunk it?


New Horizon College of Engineering


NLS

This kept us busy till Dec 2009, and we decided to cover the mainstream colleges, which had our calendars packed for a couple of more months…



Always ready for the camera


         
We don't know who he is,But he sure does know how to Say Cheese



On chilly days,our banner served us two purposes


                      

And then there was March, We were in Caesar Mode, without any soothsayer to warn us…Which led us to our next step…More details later…Till then..Peace,Love and Hot Dogs.

Another plate of hot dogs is ready to be placed in front of Takeru Kobayashi as he stuffs hot dogs in his mouth on his way to win the Derby Deli & Dueling Piano Bar Third annual West Coast Hot Dog-Eating Championship in Mission Viejo by eating 49 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
Kobayashi, who made competitive eating popular a decade ago, tried but came up short topping his own record of 69 hot dogs in 10 minutes earlier this summer with a meal of 70.
Another pro eater that competed Monday night was West Coast contest defending champion Thomas “Goose” Gilbert of Las Vegas. He ate 29 hot dogs and took second for $2500.
Peter “Furious Pete” Czerwinski finished third and took home $1000. He swallowed 25 hot dogs.
It was the third year for the event which also included live music, a magic show and concessions.
