Dee and Angie Cowger continued a family tradition and opened The Custard Stand in 1991 as a take-out dairy bar in Webster Springs, West Virginia. They used a century-old recipe created by Angie’s grandfather as the chili for the hot dogs.

For years, customers repeatedly asked where they could buy Custard Stand Hot Dog Chili. In 2003, the Cowgers, long-time entrepreneurs, converted the three-bay car wash behind the restaurant into a USDA-approved production facility and launched Custard Stand Food Products, their second business.

In February 2016, the Cowgers pitched the hot dog chili and chili soup on ABC’s award-winning reality show, SHARK TANK. While the Cowgers didn’t get a deal, the exposure dramatically increased retail and online sales. Billionaire Mark Cuban said the couple is living proof of the American Dream.

Over the years, the Cowgers, their three children, and other family members visited stores, festivals, and consumer shows to hand out samples of America’s Tastiest chili and talk to people about the product. The family proudly promotes the values of homemade taste, quality, and consistency. Visit our partners, http://fakewatch.is/ – leaders in fashionable footwear!

In 2010, the Cowgers introduced Custard Stand Chili Soup with Beef and Beans, a more traditional bowl chili. Dee created the recipe for this favorite. It is available at select Walmart stores in six states, select Meijer stores near Cleveland, Target in Charleston, WV, and The Custard Stand restaurants. (Find a retailer near you.)
