Emil Reichl and Samuel Ladany, two Austrian-Hungarian immigrants, debuted their Vienna Beef hot dog at the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893, and the rest is hot dog history. In 1894, Reichl and Ladany opened their first hot dog store in Chicago. In 1982, Jim Eisenberg and Jim Bodman took over, heralding a new chapter for Vienna Beef Hot Dogs. Fiercely prideful of America’s most popular sausage, Chicagoans are downright religious when it comes to Chicago-style hot dogs: about 700,000 are made daily at the Vienna Beef headquarters to supply the 1,800+ local Windy City hot dog vendors who sell Chicago-style hot dogs (each can attend Hot Dog University to learn the basics of the business), ‘cuz a dog just ain’t a dog made any other way.
