Vienna Beef Information

Vienna® Beef was founded in 1893. Austrian-Hungarian immigrants Emil Reichel and Samuel Ladany introduced their family frankfurter recipe at the legendary Columbian Exposition/World’s Fair. The hot dog was a hit, and Vienna® Beef was born. Over 131 years later, we’re still making our sausages the old-fashioned way, with premium domestic beef and our original recipe, to the highest quality standards and hickory-smoked for authentic flavor. Our family of companies covers multiple brands, including: Vienna Beef, Vienna Deli Meats, Vienna Condiments, Chipico "Chicago Pickle Company," Bistro Soups & Chili, Hot Dog University, and Red Hot Chicago.
