Johns Hotdog Deli

A while back I shot this picture with Johns Hot Dog Deli - hopefully soon enough I will find out what it is for! Keep up here

I present you you the proud handmodels (who is not scared of showing you how to properly handle your hotdog).

This is how it was made:

Deerdog!

So John from Johns Hotdog deli (you might remember him from this post) hooked me up with ingredients for his brand new mothtly hotdog and I made a poster for him!

There is a huge tradion for hotdogs here in Denmark (especially with the sad sad red skinned sausages) and every single boring stand serves the same generic kind of.... I'm not even gonna say it.. But then there is John! Like I told you John is one of those guys who does it right! So every month he comes up with a hotdog that pushes the envolope on what a hotdog is and should be! Using local and seasonal ingredients he makes the most delious homemade sauces and toppings which he serves with proper sausages from butchers around the country!

And I tell you, it is not for kicks and giggles that he has been mentioned in some of the worlds biggest newpapers and magazins as a go-to place for food experiences in Copenhagen!

This month it is a nordic deerdog with homemade hawthorn mustard, chantrelle remoulade and a spiced lingonberry and red onion pickle! It is served with an amazing amazing deer sausage (and I tell you it is so tasy!).

Just go taste it....and make sure to buy one of his home made mustards when you are there anyway!

Johns Hotdog Deli

A few days ago we got a portrait assignment which finally pushed me into contacting a person I for a long time have been wanting for portrait and just work with in general - John from Johns Hotdog Deli here in Copenhagen.

John is one of the most charismatic and lively persons I have ever met - he is packed full of good energy and passion for something as cool as the good old hotdog! Every month he has a new special hotdog with homemade toppings, sauces, pickles..you name it, and he makes it from scratch! Other than that he makes a lot of mustard and chilisauces, that he sells out of his little 'pølsevogn'.

He is the kind of guy that wakes up in the middle of the night, with a new recipe that he jots down in his little book! I could seriously keep on talking about how awesome I think this guy is - but what I really want you to do, is to go meet him yourself! Getting a hotdog from him is not just grab-and-go food, you get something you will remember! And if you feel chatty, he is always good for some talking! When I photographed him, I ended up spending 2 hours there...and I enjoyed every second of it!

I tell you, even though he entitles himself as just a 'pølsemand' - he has so so so much more than that to him - and I hope that my pictures somehow can portrait that he is a guy with the experience, passion and profoundness to change a lot of things that seriously needs changing!
