Pop Up Hot Dogs - Brixton market Row

[SarfLondoner]

i think you should be worried about the fact Brindisa food and i think a branch of wahaka are opening in Brixton soon. i would much rather the independent businesses do well than have more chains on the high street.

going a little off topic.

Then apply the standard x3 markup for catering and you get.... Something not too far from what they're charging.

I'll say it again - if what they are selling is decent, ethically sourced produce, the prices are about right.

Good luck to you, How would you know they are ethically sourced btw ? Is there any ethics in killing something for pleasure ?

Who is killing for pleasure? It's farmed food!

 

[ddraig]

Thats what the Hot dog man has told us further back in the thread

 

[DotCommunist]

wow, some interesting and some silly comments.. nice to see a scene of community amongst each other come on guys can we do a little better than abusive comments?

Anywho calm down folks we haven't even opened yet and finalized our menu. apologies as the website wasn't up to date when i published this post.

But yes our prices wont be dirt cheap, they will be in line with what was posted previously on or web page, as the products were using wont be nasty products you get from factory farming and big factory bakeries.

Were a team of chefs that believe in serving good quality food at a fair price.

• were using native breeds.co.uk for our pork sausages they have high welfare standards and use rare breed Brittish pigs
• brioche bread
• organic milk
• organic fair trade chocolate and peanut butter
• we source good quality ingredients for the fillings

im sure you will have some more fun with this info, but i hope it helps you understand a little more about the products we will be selling.

for 7 quid I epect fillet mignon in a bun. an expensive bun.

you asked a question and it got answered

 

[Fez909]

It did get answered but it's ridiculous to use that as an argument against this hot dog seller.

Here you go ,,,
i didn't realize you knew how much our ingredients cost, our brioche hot dog bun alone comes in at 67p cost thank you

as mentioned before there is no need for abuse/nasty comments?

"Electric dog is a combination of passion for simple and good food, offered at a fair price."

This sounds like something hastily cobbled together on an episode of "The Apprentice".

why?

 

[Fez909]

why?

Because there are valid reasons for opposing something like this, which is out of the reach of the majority of the community and contributes to gentrification. Opposition based on a minority lifestyle choice weakens those arguments and allows them to be more easily ignored.

 

[ddraig]

'minority lifestyle choice' makes it less valid does it?
it is a fact that it is slaughtered for pleasure eating rather than say people killing a buffalo for survival

now i will leave it at that, you can either accept it or keep it going...

 

[tarannau]

IS a £6 hot dog out of reach of most of the community then? Seems a bit unlikely given other takeaway prices, or of other consumables.

I can't claim any great love for hot dogs or this nascent venture, but it's not entirely absurd in terms of cost, although I'd like to see the costs lowered in recognition of the comparatively easy cooking and prep needed. Sourcing can only excuse so much.

I'm far more likely to quibble with the added costs and dubious choices on the 'branded/national' hot dogs tbh. 'Brazilan' hot dogs with sweetcorn, salsa and cream cheese? WTF sort of abomination is that....

 

[DotCommunist]

a 7 quid hotdog is absurd. It's practically wearing a clown hat and oversized shoes. It's bordering on a surrealist prank to be selling a hot dog for 7 quid

.

Personally, its more that a hotdog isn't very filling. I'd need at least 2 hotdogs to qualify as a meal, and that would put be back £14 plus £2.50 for chips. An expensive option.

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

It's not over until the £10 doner kebab arrives.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Ooh get you with your 'decent ethically sourced produce', coming from Mr 'Loyalty Card at Big John's'

£7.50 would get you a donner & chicken mix naan kebab, medium chips, onion rings, battered mushrooms, a can o' fizzy pop and change at Big John's. Fuck the £7.50 hot dog to death in the face.

 

[DotCommunist]

if you tolerate this soon brixton street vendors will be flogging Chomps and ice poles at 4 quid a pop

It's £9 for the 'electric dog' hot dog.

 

[editor]

FYI: they didn't have any £6 hot dogs. They had one basic one (one sausage + roll with no filling) for a fiver and after that they were priced at £6.50, £7.50 and £9.

Seeing as the veggie alternatives were priced at exactly the same price as the 'rare breed' imported meat ones, I'd be interested to know what goes into them to make them so expensive.

Could you explain please Dan Andres ?

thats an amped up price

How much is one of those massive pizzas with 7 types of meat we had once? And do they deliver to S London? If not, will you deliver? I'll go halves on the pizza.

 

[DietCokeGirl]

The point is, a hot dog is supposed to be a cheap and dirty food, for about £1.50 from a dubious bloke outside the tube at chucking out time. This whole 'gourmet' versions of usually cheap, quick and easy food has a 'wanna live like common people' feel to it.

I'll keep going then.

I never said it was less valid. But I implied it was less relevant. And it is. How many people in Brixton object to eating hot dogs because it's "killing for pleasure"? How many object to paying £8 for one?

I'll bet you as much as you want that the latter group is an order of magnitude bigger than the former.
