Ahmed Mohammed — whose fluctuating frank prices ranged from $3 to $30 near the World Trade Center — was also fleecing owners of the food cart, his boss Abdelalim Abdelbaky, 22, told The Post.I paid $5 one time for a hotdog. I made the mistake of not asking the price first. Lesson learned.
“Nobody would give him a job and he came to me. [But] I lost money — and I lost some customers,” he said, adding he even let Mohammed stay rent-free at his home in Jersey City... Mohammed targeted people with accents near Greenwich and Albany streets, according to NBC.
In one case he tried to charge a New Yorker with a French accent $15 for a pretzel and a hot dog. In another, he asked $30 for a hot dog and a Dr Pepper.

I read in the NY Post that the average price of a dirty water hot dog sold on the street is between $1 and $3. That's quite a spread. Considering the vendor who sells for $1 is turning a profit on whatever's in that awful thing even the $3 guy's markup is steep.
They are more expensive at Time Square.
The best hot dogs are at Ikea.
fiddy cent.
A swindler in NY? Please, say it isn't so.
Costco hotdogs are dizgust-ting.
the dude on the grill outside of Home Depot - best hotdogs.
NEVEReverever buy one of these. I speak from empirical knowledge. When I was a teenager I worked for a guy who had the hotdog pushcart business in downtown Portland. (Just one small part of his diverse business empire. People from Portland will know what I mean. He was gross.) Anyway, those hotdogs sit overnight unrefrigerated in the water in the cart. Our instructions were to look through the dog water every morning and pick out the ones that were turning green.
There's nothing wrong with the hotdogs.

They used to have those guys here at home depots and in San Diego then they all disappeared.
Jeez should we be surprised these Muslim men would even touch a hot dog.
April - you are correct about Home Depot - but I buy the hot sausage instead.
There's something unsettling about reading that 'Ahmed Mohammed is selling $30 hot dogs at Ground Zero.'
The greatest thing about living in rural America, is farm actions where you can buy the most bestest hog dogs evah!
Where I live local veterans groups and others grill and sell bratwurst in front of grocery stores, at highway exits, etc. Two bucks for a brat, another buck for a soda. Great lunch.
