Had the pleasure of trying the Chili Man with some fun friends the other day. There was a line, but well worth the wait since Vic definitely entertains you while waiting. There is also the problem of deciding what you want since the menu is so delicious and you can't really go wrong with any choice - even build your own.
I had the Naco and the Heroin.... both of them were gone in 60 seconds. Since Vic is a one man show, you can see how much love and personality he puts into all his hot dogs... which is unique when you think of a "hot dog cart" on the street. Definitely a great staple to add to your Uptown Charlotte experience.
Even after my dogs were secured in my belly, I was watching Vic interact with the customers and everyone definitely walks away with a smile and one hell of a chili dog. There is a lot to be said in putting pride into your work and it definitely pays of for the Chili Man. I've never seen a hot dog vendor chop a fresh onion (most are pre-prepared or soaking in liquid for who knows how long), but that's just one of the man details that this man puts into his creations.
