Hot Dog World in Hendersonville

It's a drive but will worth the trip to eat at Hog Dog World. This place is always so packed with hot dog lovers that the Weinermobile even stops by. While the food is great and cheap, the people that work here are the real reason I keep going back when I am in the area. They do not accept debit or credit cards and on two occasions I have seen people who ordered food and did not have the cash on hand to pay for it. Both times the cashier has let them have the food without paying. Another wonderful thing they do is to support a local church that provides food to children. It is called the Backpack Club (I think) and they have over 300 children in their community that may not eat from their school lunch on Friday to the following Monday morning. So in an effort to provide food for them but without any embarrassment they provide each child with a backpack that is crammed with food for the weekend. Each child returns the backpack on Monday and that gives the church an opportunity to repack them by Friday. While I was waiting in line, a older couple had just come from helping to pack the food and explained the program to me and others in line. There was a jar on the counter to make donations and after hearing the story every customer made a contribution to the backpack fund. Good food and great hearts make Hot Dog World a winner!
