Vienna Sausage Manufacturing Company
 PROFILE
Don't confuse Vienna Sausage Manufacturing Company with those soggy little wieners packed in jars. Its Vienna Beef wieners are the hot dogs Chicago calls its own. The company first unveiled its frankfurters (made from a secret Viennese recipe) at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. In addition to sausages and deli meats, Vienna Sausage also makes desserts (Pie Piper), pickles (Chipico Pickles, Two Bros. Pickles), and soups (Bistro Soups). Most wiener sales come from hot dog stands and other food service vendors. More than 50% of sales are within Chicago, but the company has distribution to other key markets. James Bodman and James Eisenberg own Vienna Sausage and share the titles of chairman and CEO.
