About Backyard Flames
Backyard Flames, doing business as Big Will's Famous Hot Dogs, is an award-winning Greensboro food truck founded and run by Willie "Big Will" Pettiford. The business is built around a single, focused idea: reviving the classic hot dog stand experience that Pettiford remembers from earlier generations, at a time when that kind of straightforward, well-made hot dog has become harder to find. The truck (and companion food cart setup) serves classic-style hot dogs prepared without shortcuts, an approach that has earned the business recognition including "Best Food Presentation" and "People's Choice" awards at events. Beyond day-to-day service, Backyard Flames caters private parties, work events, and celebrations, and the business is willing to travel to serve events across the Carolinas rather than staying limited to the Greensboro area. What sets the business apart in its own telling isn't complicated recipes or novelty toppings, but a commitment to quality preparation and genuine customer interaction, treating each stop as a chance to recreate a specific kind of nostalgic experience rather than just selling fast food. Pettiford has framed the mission around creating new memories for customers the same way those old-fashioned hot dog stands created memories for him, giving the business a personal throughline that shows up in local coverage, including a feature from Fox8 WGHP profiling the truck's food and story. Backyard Flames can be reached at 336-456-2461 or by email at [email protected] for catering and event bookings.
