Limastock posted:I dont eat meat and I guess I would like to think that hypothetically I can drive to this hotdog stand and be able to eat something on the menu. Maybe I will donate regardless but itd be nice if we could ask Claude about the vegetarians. As a vegetarian of 11 years I'm sayin' you're a wimp because you aren't taking me up on the veggie dog thing.

Bad Munki posted:Any goons in his general area with some photography skills? Or even just a proper camera? Because, I mean, y'know... There was an entire GWS thread about food photography a year ago. But I really doubt the guy has archives. The big points were trying not to use flash, using a neutral background setting, lighting (again with flash throwing stuff off) and trying to use plain plates that are either food colors or white. He's also taking them really high up. But I have no idea how to say any of this politely. You don't have to have a great camera or anything to take okay pictures of hot dogs.  I bet he could pull that off. Picture quality might not be as clear, but I bet he could get close. E: I should say those are the main things I remember, anyway.

He'll hopefully be getting contacted by his local fox news team shortly. Possibly more, but they were the first ones to respond that they were interested in his story. Cash is great but a little publicity for the (soon to be) brand new place can't hurt, right?

CommissarMega posted:Is there any roundabout way to alert the media? The Internet getting together to help a local business should be an amazing human interest/tech news story at least. Hell, if this works out, I think I will write a story on this. Most news agencies have contact us email forms for tips, extra information, etc. And it appears that his area news folks actually read their email. Some of them have phone numbers too. Most of his news affiliates are "west alabama" but I imagine Tuscaloosa stations might be willing to talk about him as well since he's only about 30 miles away from them.

E: ^^^^ If the guy is already working on a site, offering to help him out is not a bad thing. He already said he'd be into goons helping him with the logo thing. Didn't know about the facebook map thing.Polybious posted:So after this has done it's thing and his on Facebook and Twitter and yelp and urbanspoon etc...a website is like...a place to hold links to the previous listed places at best It could really just be a single page with phone number, hours, a simple menu list and a picture of the place. Maybe a google maps picture with the address. He does seem to want a website pretty bad. Fluffy Bunnies fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Sep 26, 2013 |

SoundMonkey posted:Speaking of W&W, we should probably get him to add the Paleo Dog, which isn't so much a hotdog as it is Wayne punching you in the mouth if you try to order it. That works if the GWS dog is a hot dog fried around another hot dog in an $800 gold leaf bun with mustard made fresh every morning from the tears of french orphans.

SoundMonkey posted:Yeah that's sort of what he conveyed to me (despite planning on buying used). Also I'm doin' some dog-related food photography tomorrow night, although I can't find all the stuff for an actual Frog Dog. You know how teppanyaki onions taste at your average american teppanyaki place? That, but a little sweeter. WhiteHowler posted:Unless something has changed recently, Kickstarter won't let someone retract/reduce a pledge from a funded project if it would take the project below the goal. So he's guaranteed to at least get his original goal (but everyone's going to be cool and leave their pledges alone anyway, right?). Why do they let people retract them at all?

The math in the title shouldn't be correct, to reflect the current hot dog situation. I threw $25 at hot dogs and if it fails, it was worth it for the brief few minutes that guy was happy and excited because eh, gently caress it. I've spent more on stupider poo poo in the past.

Atoramos posted:So wait did we determine Wayne is racist or are we assuming based on location... He said a fat black girl won a fried chicken buffet or some such and a relative made an Obamacare comment. For the area, that's not racist at all. For the rest of the world, that's pretty racist. So he's racist to the general public, but in town they'd look at you like you just grew two heads if you said that kind of comment was racist. Which doesn't make it right, at all, but southerns are like that. They're about 20-50 years behind the times, depending on where you go. E: VVVV Yeah that.

I think seeing Wayne say he's having an anxiety attach was worth every penny.
