THIS IS MY STORY:
The beginning of Jimmy's New York Style Street Dogs.
Jimmy's hot dog love begins with his dad who took him to NY hot dog carts after hand digging graves by pick and shovel.
Flash forward he spent over 20 plus years working in the Culinary industry, starting as young kid doing dishes.
In times, he struggled to work his way up through the ranks.
Being married with three sons to support and continuing to be committed to his dreams, he was able to achieve his culinary degree, become a certified CEC, CCE, winning many Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in culinary competition against the best of the best.
He worked and built some of the most famous corporations,hotels and restaurants and small moms and pops operations and casinos across the country.
Working with Emirl Lagasse, Wolfgang Puc and more, but NEVER losing his love for hot dogs.
Ended up marrying my beautiful wife Kandise, we decided to move to Oregon 12 years ago. I gave up cooking and became a mill worker making plywood.
That's where I met the best friends I've ever had. Because one of them, (Mathew Wymer), suggested I start a hot dog cart, It would be fun he said so I thought, there's really no good Authentic NY, flavored hot dogs in town so I decided to bring it to Southern Oregon. extremely hard work but the fun is meeting all you wonder people its been amazing
Authentic hot dogs from NY and specials from my experiences traveling the country. Forget aboutit, Hold my beer see what I bring from my travels.
