Vienna® Beef was founded in 1893. Austrian-Hungarian immigrants Emil Reichel and Sam Ladany introduced their family frankfurter recipe at the legendary Columbian Exposition.
The hot dog was a hit, and Vienna Beef was born. More than 120 years later, we're still making our sausages the old-fashioned way, with premium domestic beef and our original recipe, to the highest of quality standards and hickory-smoked for authentic flavor.
