NateDogs

Nathan Beck is a professional singer and self-taught chef. He loves to sing and he loves to cook. But more than that he loves to inspire and encourage others to cook and to sing and to enjoy all the small moments in life. Like enjoying a good hot dog.

He developed this love for hot dogs from his dad and from a lifetime of trips to the MN State Fair where he can enjoy delicious foot long hot dogs. He started up his cart in May of 2011 and has been a busy man ever since.

Natedogs features all-natural, locally sourced hot dogs and bratwurst. You can find him in Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN. When asked if he could describe his cart in one word, he said it would be “Serving”. Whatever he does with the cart, he wants it to be about serving the community first. Not only serving food, but serving people.

We’ll learn more about the Natedogs and their award-winning cuisine in the near future and report back to you.  Congratulations to Natedogs and their enthusiastic voters/diners!
