A marriage of flavors made in heaven: Hoboken Eddie’s and Zweigle’s
Company president, Nicholas Capanna states: “I met Chef Edmund Patrick McCarthy aka “Hoboken Eddie” while we were both doing tastings in Long Island. I was pleased to share with Eddie the whole, gas-grilled Zweigle’s white hotdogs that I was serving (which, he expressed great pleasure in eating and came back for more). And, I never tasted anything quite so tantalizing on a Zweigle’s hotdog as his Spicy Thai Chili Sauce. It was apparent to me at first taste that Zweigle’s hotdogs and Hoboken Eddie's Sauces were a perfect marriage of flavors. As such, I’m very pleased for www.white-hots.com to be a featured friend on www.Hobokeneddies.com and strongly encourage everyone who enjoys the finest gourmet hotdogs and Italian sausage in the world to try their Zweigle's with Hoboken Eddie's on it. It's a taste sensation that's beyond description!"
In Rochester New York, for a long time there have been two things that you can get that are better than anyplace in the world. One of them is Zweigle's hotdogs (aka “hot dogs” and just “hots” as in “white hots”). These hotdogs are so special that out-of-towners lug coolers packed with Zweigle's home with them, beg their family and friends to pack them in dry ice and ship them across the Country, and now order from the Company online across the fifty states and Puerto Rico at www.white-hots.com.
white-hots, inc. (www.white-hots.com) is one of only 15 listed members of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (www.hot-dog.org). The Company has brought Zweigle’s to lucky communities as far away from home as California and Oregon, and is having discussions with buyers across America and in Europe to bring Zweigle's hotdogs the global acclaim they deserve.
The Company recently obtained approval from the Feingold Association of the United States (www.feingold.org) for Zweigle's white hotdogs to be used by those who follow the Feingold Program diet. (Zweigle’s white hotdogs do not have sodium nitrite or nitrate added thus their white color). Why is this important? Capanna states: "While, we are not scientists or physicians, it's our understanding that sodium nitrite and/or nitrate additive consumption may cause some serious health problems including cancers.”
In 1880, C. Wilhelm Zweigle and his wife Josephine opened a small sausage shop in Rochester, New York. That was the humble beginning of what would lead five generations of family to dedicate their lives to making Zweigle’s a Rochester institution. In 1925, Zweigle’s, Inc. introduced their first “white hotdog” product, which created quite a local buzz. And, in the generations since, Rochestarians have made Zweigle’s hotdogs not only a favorite food but also a source of local pride (and one they were perfectly content to secretly enjoy as a benefit of living in their city by Lake Ontario while lesser red wieners enjoyed the limelight and became America’s favorite food with an unknowing American public).
The survival and growth of Zweigle’s Inc. from a small sausage shop into a multi-million dollar company nearly 125 years old is a testament to the Zweigle’s family, their sensational innovation of America’s favorite food, and their dedication to old-fashioned quality and wholesomeness in a world of mass merchandised, inferior franks. With local consumers never being able to get enough Zweigle’s hotdogs, the company has until recently been content to focus its energies on making the finest hotdogs in the world while keeping its world-class products a best-kept secret of Rochester, New York. |
