DOGS-A-FOOT One of the most popular lunch sites in Port Townsend, Dogs A Foot has been going strong for 22 years, most of it at current location on Water Street near city hall. It is the harbinger of spring in PT when it opens and the beginning of our winter when it closes.
This winter we all said goodbye to the owners, John and Sai Sheehan who were leaving for Thailand for the winter. All hot dogs were free that last closing day. John and his wife had sold the business and planned to retire. They had been putting the trailer which houses the stand into storage and spending their winters in Thailand.
I had heard the sale fell through, and this morning on my walk I saw John outside, setting up and getting ready for business. I asked him if the business was for sale again and if I could take his picture. He said yes, and yes.
Sorry for John that his deal fell through, but so glad to see it open again and look like it always has for the 10 years I have been eating his hot dogs. My favorite is the veggie dog, with sauerkraut piled high. My dogs Teddy and Lulu like the big water pan he keeps filled in front of the stand.
What a wonderful story!! Thank You for sharing it. Some times little things, can mean so much to us!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Know anywone looking to buy a hot dog stand? John says he works 80 hours a week and he is 60 something.
