Dean's Story

School Ridgewood was a time of unbelievable fun and friendships that have continued till this day. I would like to see a yearly picnic take place for all classes as a way for a reunion. I would like to hear from everyone Dean Workplace Time to update my bio. I sold my Hot Dog stand in late 2005. Only to find a huge success in catering. The stand was a hard go of it 4 and a half years. The stand almost started to break even. But not, the writing was on the wall. If all you need was 40 - 60 dollars a day more. Those 40 to 60 dollars a day keep adding up. They eventually come out of your pocket. It all makes for a good tax deduction at the end of the year. But you still spend out of your own pocket. I do not regret any aspect of the stand. I just wished I could of given the stand my undivided attention, but all the while still a tractor trailer driver for UPS my livelihood still demanded 10-11 hours day. The stand was located across the street from my UPS facility in Addison IL. Very convenient. My home away from home. I still consider myself a success. 70 -85 people day coming in telling you have great food. Chicago style hot dogs, fresh cut fries. Choice cut steak sandwiches. Full breakfast menu, excellent salads, beefs, burgers that many said were the best they ever had. Providing work for empl...Expand for more
oyees that supported their families. It meant allot to me when the people, who worked hard for you and help you live your dream, you realize it is through you that they are supported. 4 1/2 years of experiences. The book will be out in short time, if made into a movie, well that remains to be seen. Since starting off on my Catering career I have catered picnics for several different types of events. Union picnics with hundreds of people at a Teamsters function. My Ridgewood high School 33 year reunion, Church functions, block parties, back yard weddings, graduations, and more. Still keeping Dean'ers Wieners alive and kicking. I rent out commercial table top hot dog steamers to people that find the novelty of serving a real Vienna Chicago Style dogs at their affair. If in life you have a dream, (mine was my hot dog stand). If you never try to achieve your dream you will never know. My hope to all is that you always will try to live your own dreams someday. Summer of 2008 on its way. My schedule is getting booked for the summer. I really have fun at block parties. They are truly what I shoot for as far as catering. My menu is much, much larger then just Hot dogs also offered are Rib tips, Italian Beef and sausage, chicken, Polish sausage the limits are endless. Peace to all whom visits me! Dean
