From the Bottom of Our Hearts… Thank You. 🏆❤️
First, please forgive the delay in sharing this message.
Yesterday was dedicated entirely to our family. We have been walking through a very difficult and heartbreaking season, and we needed to spend the day together.
But today, we want to pause and express our deepest gratitude.
First and foremost, Lord, thank You.
You are my strength, my guide, and my greatest blessing. This business belongs to You. I am simply Your servant, doing my best each day to honor the opportunities You place before us.
To Taste of Muskegon, thank you for believing in us, trusting us, opening your doors, and giving a brand-new small business the opportunity to stand alongside so many incredible vendors. We will never forget the people who made this possible.
To the amazing community, and to the countless visitors who came from neighboring cities and beyond, thank you for supporting our dream. Every smile, every conversation, every ticket purchased, every kind word, and every vote meant more than you could ever know.
Winning an award—regardless of whether it’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or a special category—is one of those moments that reminds us why we keep going. It fuels our desire to keep serving, keep giving, and keep spreading love through what we do.
This award means the world to us.
What makes it even more special is that Famous Scottdogs is less than two months old… And yet here we are… Living proof that in this wonderful country, DREAMS really DO COME TRUE!
Every morning, I ask myself the same million-dollar question:
“How bad do you want it, Gretell?”
And every morning my answer is the same:
“With all the passion of my soul.”
Then it’s time to get up, get moving, and go get it.
To my husband, Nate, ( Uff I love you Papi with everything in me) Thank YOU for being the engine behind the scenes. You work a full day exceeding expectations at your company and then come straight to the trailer to work another shift beside me until the day is done. None of this would be possible without your sacrifice, support, and belief in our dream.
To our incredible team and dear best friends, Manuel Corona and Doug McCoy, thank you for your loyalty, dedication, hard work, and unconditional support. There simply are not enough words to express how grateful we are for both of you.
To my beloved friend, graci harkema, thank you for your love, encouragement, and unwavering support. Every time you come to support us, it feels a little magical.
And finally, to everyone who stopped by our trailer this weekend…
Thank you for giving two dreamers a chance.
Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for reminding us why we started.
We are humbled. We are grateful.
And we are just getting started.
Before we go, we would also like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all of the incredible winners: Hamburger Mikey - Tiki Boiz - FrostbiteMi - MELT Gourmet Sandwiches - Yodels Frozen Yogurt - Unruly Brewing Company - Big Tuck's Food Truck - The Western Reserve. We are honored to celebrate alongside such amazing local businesses and talented people.
With all our love,
Famous Scottdogs
Built with flavor. Served with heart. 💛
