Cannot load blog information at this time.
hey, i’m watching the show right now, and i just wanted to post something that might encourage you guys. who knows if it will or not, but i’ll give it a shot. i’m a sister in Christ in Texas, and i think it’s really neat what you guys are doing. not just the hot dogs, of course, but the whole “three nails” idea. i will remember you all in my prayers.
Ditto on what “curly” said. I am watching your Food Network debut and hoping this is just the beginning of good things for you. Keep the faith and remember that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!! Love and prayers, Sharon Rodriguez of Florida
Wish I could get a New Yorker….
Just found you by watching Food Network. Gotta stop by and get some hotdogs!
i am also watching the show ,i am writing from ames,iowa and also a college students….your story is really inspiring since i am also about to graduate .Well now my next road trip will be to pittsburgh with my friends ,since we havent been in pittsburgh we can use a visit there and also ur restaurant …..good luck with ur business
take care
bye
funny, i’m watching the show right now also… and i kinda wanna make a road trip up to pittsburgh to try some of your hot dogs, they look so good!!!
wonder how many people are gonna show up here after watching the show!
hey guys i just watched you on food network and am about 2 seconds from driving from TN to get one of your hot dogs. i hope you guys do well in business for your selves but mostly for your church. I will pray for you all and for your business. good luck and god bless!
just finished watching the show and i can’t wait to take a road trip from new jersey with my 14 year old to pittsburg. please know that it will happen, with faith anything is possible. i’m a chef, so i know the biz, and i know how tough it can be. but you have a concept that will work with time, there is no doubt in my mind. i’ll remember to introduce myself when i pop in.
peace and love,
lexan
the italian sounds SOOOOOO good but i live in reno, NV but i hear you deliver LOL if i ever make out there i will buy some hot dogs and I think the church idea is cool
keep up the good work
WOW…I NEVER KNEW WE HAD SUCH A COOL JOINT DOWNTOWN!! Forget ‘burghers I wanna try some franks!
We are impressed with your dedication to the business. Just wish we lived in the area to take advantage of your fare. God Bless you all, and you WILL succeed!
My husband and I saw your show on Food network. We live in the Bahamas and so I thought I would share with you the special they have down here. It’s a conch chili dog. I’m sure you couldn’t get conch up where you live and I know you already have a chili dog on your menu, but I just thought I’d help you find a new dog! You could also use some kind of “tropical” fruit and call it carribean. Just a thought. Good luck with your business and I hope all goes well for you. God bless!
Sounds Like A Great Place – Great show on Food Network – Best of luck! When I’m in Pittsburgh I will surely stop in and grab a dog or two! Keep the faith!
Never Loose your dreams or vision!

hey kids…watching yinz on TFN tonight from mt. lebanon just through the tunnel and up the hill ‘n’at. we love coming dahntahn on the “T.” my wife and i used to attend the cathedral back in the day…i’ll bring my her dahn as a surprise – she’ll love the date! Brother ‘n Christ with yinz. God Bless ‘n’at.
PS – how about a “YINZ FRANK?”
Hey, my husband and i just watched your show, we were impressed with your dedication to your faith and community. We also saw a glimps of a sweatshirt that we both are just crazy about…your “Hot Dogma” sweatshirt. I was wondering if there was any way to puchase them and pay for shipping to Los Angeles, California (Which is where we’re at). Let us know at izelmorena – at – gmail dot com.
Just finished watching the Food Network show featuring HotDogma.
What a great idea! I love your creativity & your spirit. Hey, do you ship to California???
I just wanted to encourage you to hang in there. I was watching the show and was impressed by your attitudes and your gumption. I started my small business 2 years ago and it’s getting stronger and stronger. It’s not easy to stay motivated but you are working for a worthy cause. God made us a promise in Proverbs 3:9-10. He’s kept his promise to me. God Bless.
I sent an email to you guys after watching the show! Hope you guys like it , it is entitled “Hello!”
Just a thought, there is a website out there http://www.cafepress.com. That you can slap your logo and sayings on to sell. If you can’t ship to L.A. you could start a store there as well. FRANKS BE TO GOD! YAY!
We saw your show, how can I buy a T shirt long distance? You need to set up a T shirt sales solution on line, my wife and I would buy T shirts or even make a donation to help keep you going! Maybe three nails and Hot Dogma could set up a link for donations?
I work in Pittsburgh every now and then, so the next time I am in town at PNC I will find time to come eat! Good Luck. let me know, maybe I can mail a check?
bob at bulletbob96@yahoo.com
i love you guys so much, even all the way from texas. and i am so proud of you. and i am so proud of how wholeheartedly you have trusted god. you are super awesome lovers of god and pretty badass cool human beings. i wish i had gotten to see it… i saw the three nails email… but i will assemble my texas people for the next showing. all those tear-filled nights at grove city… and so many more that i am sure followed… seem so worth it…
much love, ali
Tim congrats on the food network show! The LOGS hoodie was a great touch!
Good luck with everything and if I am ever in the area I still definately stop by! Any chance of being able to buy one of those hoodies online?
-Cristina Curiale
Keep up the good work and prep a Texan w/ a DP for me. (extra points if it’s a sugar-based DP as I mentioned in your earlier Dr. Pepper post!)

Hello, saw you on the food network and just wanted to say hi from Hawaii and to give you an idea… here they sell “hot dog musubi” a hot dog split down the middle sitting on sticky rice shapped into a patty with seaweed wrapped around it…also, you guys can use pineapple to make a caribbean sauce to go on top of hotdogs. Well, good luck and I will definitely visit once we are back on the mainland. ALOHA!!
Im watching the show and I wish you guys the best of luck!!!
I used to live in Pitt and the next time I visit, I will be sure to come by. I think the exposure on Food Network will help alot – What I found out about Pittsburgh is that there are alot of good people there who support each other.
The best to you all,
e.
Hi also from Hawaii! Good luck on your business. Still watching the show and wish you all well…. oh I’ll second the hotdog musubi… its the best.
I think your on a great concept! Keep up the hard work and it will pay off one day.
Hey I just watched the show, you have support in Lake Oswego, OR. How about a thai dog – something with peanut sauce, red cabbage and chopped peanuts? You should offer a donation option through paypal or something on your website. :) God Bless.
Hello, I just watched the show on the Food Network. I hope you all the Best!!! You will succeed, your ideas are great!
I will stop by if you ever have a Hot Dogs in California.: -)
Hello, I just watched the show on the Food Network. I hope you all the Best!!! You will succeed, your ideas are great! The Logo looks great!
I will stop by if you ever have a Hotdogma in California.: -)
I live in Chicago. I want a Hotdogma shirt!… how do i get one?
Its a cool cool thing you guys are doing. My guy is working at a start up restaurant and we feel your pain.
Can you sell your Hotdogma gear at your website? Your out of state supporters could help in that venue.
God bless the hotdog. Oh.. yeah, I am from Chicago… but dont hold that against me.
Its two in the morning and I am watching the Food Network (you can tell i am a college student), and your show came on! What a great idea, I love your website, and how you handle everything with such great faith and humor.
-Matt
Just caught the late showing … it was brilliant! Congrats on taking such a huge leap of faith and working hard for something you care about. I hope the show does wonders for business.
I’ll second (third? fourth?) the requests for info on purchasing shirts or some kind of merchandise. Not only is it quite stylish, I’d love to be able to help you guys out, all the way from D.C. (I’m also going to try and talk my girlfriend into a roadtrip to Pittsburgh!)
guess i wasnt the only person watching food network. Well it sounds like you guys are getting some good publicity here. I am a junior business and accounting major in west virginia about an hour or so from pittsburgh. I would be interested in hearing some of your ideas about other store openings. Please e-mail me at highflyin6617@comcast.net.
good luck with everything and i will have to stop in sometime.
I’m a fellow culinarian in southern california, and I just saw you on the food network.It’s about 10:30 pm. I had to Email you, because I had a great idea about a japanese hot dog.A dog that is wrapped in soy papper (reversed style, rice on the outside) dipped in tempura batter and deep fried.Served with a side of wasabi aoli, hoisin, and siracha.
I’m watching the show as I’m writing this. I just want praise you all for your dedication and determination. I encourage you all to hanging there and I believe Hot Dogma will come through in the end. The business idea is great, and the combination of hotdogs, ice-cream, and smoothies are truly winning recipes. If I’m not in California right now, I’ll be there ready to buy one of those delicious hotdogs. In Him, LK
Hey great job guys! Best of luck to you all and your business. You really took a big step forward and now its a matter of time till u make that “big leap” or just maybe u already did, besides, u did get my attention way over here in Calfornia! Don’t worry, even from way over here, I’ll still spread the word 4 u guys. Good luck, and good night. Long Live Hot Dogma!
I am so impressed by you guys! I watched your spot on the Food Network tonight and I was very impressed by your initiative, vision, drive and determination! As a fellow Episcopalian at St. John’s Church in Johnson City, Tennessee and also as a future Ph.D. student at Indiana University, I admire what you are doing! Keep up the good work! I pray for your success in business and also for your search in spiritual matters at “Three Nails.” Blessings on each of you!

I also want to sing your praise after watching the show yesterday. Anymore on television all we see of Christians is radical, crazy nonsense. You seem to just be radical and crazy. Score for you. My wife, Shekinah Scmitt, was in YWAM Tyler with your cook. She was almost moved to tears to see that you’ve ‘made it’, you’re living a life that reflects the passion, comradary, and fun of being a follower of Jesus. True blessings to you all. Oh, and I want a t-shirt! paulhens@yahoo.com
