The Birth of Corndoggies

While driving south out of town, John Lawyer spotted this lonely mustard yellow, 1975 GMC RV for sale.  He immediately flipped a U-turn to admire its beauty. He scribbled down the phone number off the "FOR SALE" sign hanging in the window, and a few weeks later he sweet-talked his way into the driver's seat. Later that day, the maiden voyage was camping up in the Poudre river canyon outside of Fort Collins, Colorado. On his trip, he contemplated the fate of big yellow.  It wasn't long after those few nights of gazing at the star filled skies huddled around a campfire that John’s decision was made. Turn big yellow into something that many people could enjoy. This is how "CORNDOGGIES" was born!

10 years later…

With much love from the community, we have grown our business into having two Corndoggies trucks and have dipped over 272,000 corndogs throughout northern Colorado! That’s 27 miles (all wiener, no stick)!!!

The OG truck we took out to Tennessee during Covid in 2020 for the summer for an outdoor gig. Due to covid times being weird times, we decided to sell the OG truck and leave her in Tennessee. She now slings sandos and still lives a happy life!

Corndoggies cycling

Starting in 2026, we have officially started our own Corndoggies Cycling Team based in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Owner, John has always been an avid cyclist and has a major wiener for the sport. When Corndoggies was first getting its footing, the cycling community was a huge support and he’s always been looking at ways to give back and build up that community.

After sponsoring the FCCT/Miiflo team for a handful of years and an individual athlete for a few years, we are ready to embark on our own adventure and go full Corndoggies Style.

With John’s wife, SJ onboard, they make the dream team of certified wiener slingers. You’ll usually find one of them on the truck and if it’s your lucky day, you’ll find them both on the food truck.

While John is the brains behind the business and food, SJ brings the content creation, HR, director of operations, creator of the 12” wiener program to becoming a certified wiener slinger and much more!

OUR MISSION: is to help build a stronger cycling community based on achieving personal goals through partnership, accountability and community.

As 2026 is our first year rolling (literally) out this team, it is a recruit only so we can really help our team members achieve their goals. You can follow along on our adventure by following our instagram account @corndoggiescyclingteam

Our Process

John likes to do things the right way (sometimes that’s the hard way).  This is why we make our own batter, our own sauces, and even our own dogs!  Yes, that's right, all the dogs are uniquely ground, spiced and then piped and smoked. The only exception is with the classic and footlong dogs, which are 100% beef ordered fresh for each event, because you can't perfect perfection! 

We started out making our own sausages but once we grew, the demand was too high for our own hands to handle. After some research and searching for a solution, we were connected with the worlds best sausage maker (John Hudoc) in East Troy, Wisconsin and a beautiful relationship was born. Mr. Hudoc has a USDA certified business called, Hometown Sausage Kitchen. He makes incredible sausages and smokes meats and has become a local legend. We send him our recipes and he makes our sausages in bulk.

Our attention for details even comes down to our sauces that are meticulously thought about to pair perfectly with each of our varietal sausages. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
