From Roadside Stand to Utah’s Favorite Food Truck | World's Best Corndogs (Russ and Denice Relyea)
✨ Russ Relyea was at rock bottom—personally and financially—when a simple corndog changed his life. After a chance encounter with a corndog vendor in North Dakota, Russ became obsessed with perfecting the recipe. After a lot of persistence, he finally got the secret formula—and started selling corndogs out of the back of his truck. It was an instant success, with lines of customers forming from day one.
But that’s not even the best part. Just two days before launching the business, Russ got married to Denice—making their love story and their business story completely intertwined. Together, they built World’s Best Corndog, a brand that’s grown from a single truck into a thriving food empire.
In this episode, we dive into their incredible journey—how Russ turned his life around, the challenges of growing a business, and the values that set them apart from the competition. Whether you love a good comeback story, dream of launching your own food business, or just really love corndogs, this episode is for you!
