Vienna Beef

Vienna Beef Inc

Vienna Beef is a manufacturer of the hot dog used in the classic Chicago-style hot dog, as well as Polish sausage and Italian beef, delicacies of independent Chicago-style hot dog and beef stands. They also produce a variety of deli meats, some of which are available at Chicago area supermarkets.

Their headquarters resides at the intersection of Elston, Damen, and Fullerton Avenues in the city, on the Chicago River. The company has been located in Chicago since the Columbian Exposition of 1893. Their factory was originally located in the same facility as the headquarters, however, the factory was relocated to 1000 W. Pershing Road in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood in the summer of 2016

Emil Reichel and Sam Ladany emigrated from Vienna, Austria, to Chicago in the 1890s. During the Columbian Exposition they sold hot dogs to the many visitors of the Exposition. In 1894, Reichel and Ladany opened a storefront on Halsted Avenue on Chicago's West Side. In 1900, Vienna Beef began to sell and deliver to other stores and restaurants in Chicago. During the Great Depression, a number of Vienna Beef vendors begin advertising that their hot dogs have a "salad on top," giving rise to the traditional Chicago-style hot dog. In 1950, Vienna Beef distribution spread to other Midwestern states, and in the 1960s, Vienna Beef began selling in supermarkets.

Vienna Beef supplies hot dogs to several restaurants in the Chicago area, each with a specially tailored variation. These variations include different casings and ratios of ingredients.

Henry Davis (1904–1974), a one time VP of sales, was instrumental in making Vienna Beef the Chicago hot dog. Henry was honored by Vienna Beef, the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois for his contributions in helping create Chicago's independent hot dog stands. There is a permanent collection of documents, photos and memorabilia in the Chicago Historical Society Archives called the "Henry Davis Collection" that was inaugurated in 1989.

White Spot

White Spot

White Spot is a Canadian restaurant chain based in Vancouver, British Columbia, best known for its hamburgers, Pirate Pak children's meal and burger sauce. Some locations have carhop drive-in service.

In the 1920s, Nat Bailey operated a travelling lunch counter, using a 1918 Model T. A prominent location was Prospect Point in Stanley Park. Hotdogs were a dime and ice cream was a nickel.

The restaurant was founded on June 16, 1928, by Nat Bailey. His first idea for a name for the eatery had been Granville Barbecue, but Nat instead took the advice of a friend who suggested he call it White Spot after a restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, California—in part because the name sounded spotless and clean.

The original White Spot was located in the Marpole neighbourhood, at 67th and Granville Street, at what would be known as Granville House, in Vancouver. The restaurant was called White Spot Barbecue Sandwiches, evolving into a drive-in and dining room.

By 1955, the chain was serving 10,000 cars a day and 110,000 customers a week.

By the 1990s, some White Spot Drive-ins were phased out due to an increase in franchise restaurants and a gradual decrease in popularity of drive-in's. Granville House was a popular dining spot until 1986 when a fire in the kitchen damaged the building. The restaurant closed permanently at that location shortly thereafter, despite some talk of rebuilding.

The carhop drive-in service began further west, at a viewpoint off Marine Drive in Point Grey, when Bailey served food from a vehicle. Drivers parked nearby asked if food could be delivered to their cars, so Bailey hired servers who "hopped to it" to do so. Similar drive-in carhop service, with servers bringing trays and food to diners' cars to eat on-site, using trays that fit across the seats between vehicles' windows, which became standard at White Spot outlets. Some locations still offer drive-in service.

The chain was sold to General Foods in 1968 when Nat retired.

Wienerschnitzel

Wienerschnitzel

Wienerschnitzel is an American fast food chain founded in 1961 (as "Der Wienerschnitzel") that specializes in hot dogs, also known as the World's Largest Hot Dog Chain. Wienerschnitzel locations are found predominantly in California and Texas, though others are located in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Washington. Outside the 50 states, there is a store located in Guam and one in Panama.

The chain is recognizable by the A-frame style roofs of its older restaurants, similar to the original structures used by IHOP, Tastee-Freez, Nickerson Farms, and Whataburger. Structures that have been converted from Wienerschnitzels into other restaurants often retain the distinctive architecture. The chain's advertising mascot is an anthropomorphized hot dog known as The Delicious One, who runs from people who want to eat him.

Wienerschnitzel sponsors the tongue-in-cheek Wiener Nationals, the de facto national dachshund racing championship series for the United States.

The first Wienerschnitzel was founded by former Taco Bell employee John Galardi (1937-2013) in 1961. This location, still operating today, was a hot dog stand located at 900 West Pacific Coast Highway, east of Figueroa Street, in the Los Angeles community of Wilmington.

The Windmill (restaurant)

The Windmill (stylized as WindMill) is a chain of restaurants located mostly near the Jersey Shore known for its hot dogs and other fast food. The original location, a windmill-shaped building in Long Branch, New Jersey, was built and opened in 1963. Leo and Ed Levine bought the restaurant in 1976, and opened a second location in Belmar, New Jersey, three years later. Since then, WindMill Gourmet Fast Foods has grown to include seven locations—three franchises and four owned by the family. George James in The New York Times writes, "Aside from Sabrett, the family-owned hot dog manufacturer based in New Jersey that makes the Windmill hot dog, the Levines, probably constitute the largest wiener dynasty in the state." The Windmill's hotdog style is a Jersey Shore flat-grilled dog.

The Windmill's Long Branch location is known for its fierce competition with nearby Max's Famous Hotdogs. The Windmill claims it is a favorite of Bruce Springsteen.

Besides its staple hot dogs, the chain serves many other sandwiches, including chicken and fish, and a California-style double burger known as the Big Ed, though it can be made to suit the customer's wishes. The burgers and the chain's ribeye steak sandwich are popular with customers. Side dishes include cheese French fries almost as well known as the hot dogs, and chili cheese fries and fried mushrooms. In addition to standard fountain soda selectionsand bottled drinks, several locations feature milk shakes. The condiment offerings, set up at the purchase counter, include diced onions, a variety of relishes, sauerkraut, and pickles. The mustard is of the spicy brown or deli type, not yellow.

Yesterdog

Yesterdog is a restaurant that specializes in hot dogs located in Eastown, Grand Rapids, Michigan. The restaurant is known for being the model for the restaurant hang out of the character in American Pie film. Despite being a hot dog restaurant, the Yesterdog does not serve a true Coney Island hot dog per the definition of a coney in "Coney Detroit".

Yesterdog was founded in 1976 in Eastown by Bill Lewis. By 2008, Bill Lewis, a former Mr. Fables employee, apparently owns the Mr. Fables trademark and would be allowed access to the Mr. Fables secret recipes if he wished to restart the Mr. Fables restaurant. In February 2008, the Yesterdog building's windows were blown out by a gas explosion in a building across the street. In the April 2010 issue of Esquire magazine, the restaurant was named one of "among great spots around the country 'Where Men Eat.'" The eatery cited its 8% increase in 2011 sales to the auto bailout and the June 2011 stop of Barack Obama's reelection campaign.
