“Consistency. It is important because we make all of our condiments in house, we want to make sure they taste the same every time.  That every time they have a hot dog, it tastes exactly how it tasted when we first opened the food truck.  It’s that taste that makes us who we are, and we want to give our customers that consistency, to keep them coming back.” – Amalia Pferd, Owner of Good Dog Houston
