A hot dog cart is a specialized mobile food stand for preparing and selling street food, specifically hot dogs, to passersby.[1] In some jurisdictions, a cart operator must meet stringent health regulations designed to protect the public. Hot dog carts are quick and easy food services, supplying millions of people with food every day. In 2015 the U.S. Hot Dog Council estimated that 15% of the approximately 10 billion hot dogs consumed by Americans in 2014 were purchased from a mobile hot dog vendor cart.[2][3] Hot dog carts are very common in New York City,[4][5] and most of the hot dogs purveyed by hot dog carts in New York City are sourced from Sabrett.[1]
