| Adam Clay is still cooking up hot dogs. |
But there's good news: Adam Clay may have left the building, but he's still in the parking lot.
That's where Clay originally started his hot dog business several years ago. It was just Clay and his cart. He thought he could really bring in the bucks -- especially during the cold winter months -- by moving into the adjacent building. But, he says, "Things didn't really work out."
You see, he had an employee running the indoor operation while he took a job as a corporate chef. That didn't pan out, so now he's moved his hot dog cart back out to the parking lot and given the business a new name: Clay's Curbside Grill.
"When the weather gets cooler, I'll have chili again," Clay says. "And I like being back outside."
Clay still puts together a terrific Chicago dog, as well as traditional and Polish dogs.
"It's a great business," he says. "But I think people prefer buying hot dogs outside."

Best hot dogs EVER! I use to pass by everyday on my way to the nkc gym and one day I decided to stop and try one..best decision ive ever made. The chicago dog is my fav!=)
Fantastic all-beef Chicago hot dogs! Even worth a drive from downtown KC. I'm usually a brown-bagger, but this is a great change for me and some other brown-bagger friends who come with me. And its a real bargain!
Great to have Adam back in NKC!! I will be down there for a dog today!!!
I liked when they has an inside seating, but inside or out, it's still one of the best cheapest lunch options in the area.
We are very happy to have the Hot Dog Cart back in wonderful North Kansas City. Adam Clay brings us classic, awesome HOT DOGS of all kinds. Come one and all !!!!!!!!!
That's great news. I don't know why there aren't more hot dog carts in town. I would think someone would make a fortune setting one up here in Brookside.
I used to work for Adam some years back, he was an all-around nice guy. I hope he finds success.
Thanks Charles! Was sittin at my desk here in NKC wondering what to have for lunch. Hopped up and went straight for the dog cart. MMMMM, polish with kraut!!!
