Non-Kosher Hot Dog Incites Rage

The Vienna products are kosher when shipped  but of course the preparation makes them not acceptable to those following traditional kosher dietary rules.

Hi CSD  Of course you are right. What was I thinking? As a native Chicagoan I should have remembered that! But that Vienna beef sign is sure a welcome sight in places like savannah anyways!

Thanks.

Vienna Beef products are not kosher with the exception of their kosher dill pickles. For information visit:

 When I was 17 I was a waitress in a [very!] non-kosher deli, and one day an irate granny yelled at me because we served offered hard salami and CHEESE sandwiches,  " You might as well serve me a bacon cheeseburger!!! " she said. I , as a 17 year old Lutheran knew not what she ment!  

CajunKing I'm very impressed.  Thanks for teaching this Jew something I didn't know.

Reminds me of a SNL skit where they were all singing Christmas Carols and only Elliott Gould knew all of the words to the carols.

My answer to her would have been, "You're right a bacon cheeseburger sounds great.  There's certainly nothing wrong with those."

Elliott Gould?  Dating yourself a bit?  Actually I am too since I know him and his body of work pretty well.  I still love the M*A*S*H movie.

Built my business with Koshers Best. Now I fluctuate between Hebrew Nationals and Nathans. I don't like Vienna, they have a nice snap but that’s not enough for me to start selling them. We have a vendor center for companies that deal with all food products, but hotdog wise only Vienna. They will even throw in an umbrella if you buy enough lol If I had enough money I would purchase the rights for Best Kosher and bring them back. I find it interesting that most people that have their own free standing building that focus on the sell of hotdogs choose Vienna. I guess I will be the one to break the mold.

I wrote a letter to Sara Lee describing my disappointment in their decision to no longer carry Bests Kosher and assured them that there were many in the hot dog industry that were also upset.  They said they gave up all of their Kosher meats I guess because they weren't making enough money, or they cost too much to make.

Sabretts wants you to order a 1000 pound minimum order with an agreement that makes you keep ordering at certain intervals.  I said, "A thousand pounds is a hell of a lot of dogs!  They said, as long as I order my condiments and other stuff from them it all counts toward the weight and that adds up quickly.

Have you tried Hebrew National, they answer to a higher authority.   There are many Kosher dogs and sausages on the market.  Bests was just one brand.
Don't have to buy but brands are out there, Probably more

Hebrew Nationals are good, but not as good as Bests Kosher.  I'll try more until I find the one I really like.
