(OAKLAND, CA – September 7, 2006) – Caspers Famous Hot Dogs, the family-owned, quick serve restaurant company, that has been a hot dog lover’s favorite since 1934, announces the launching of its official website at caspershotdogs.com.
It seems when readers like hot dogs, they really like hot dogs. I've had quite a few letters and e-mails from those desperately seeking Caspers. Finally, some good news:
A new $2 million sausage processing plant will launch Bay Area favorite Caspers Famous Hot Dogs into distribution throughout the West, and set Lafayette's Spar Sausage Co. on track to introduce new product lines.
What constitutes a good dog is, of course, subjective -- and sausage lovers tend to be loyalists. Some insist Caspers is the best in the East Bay, while others favor the Hot Dog Stand in Oakland. Some prefer steeped dogs; others, like Riemann, are partial to grilled.
A long time favorite in the East Bay, this original Bay Area location opened in 1934. Quick and cheap, but probably the best hot dogs in the area. Many of the ingredients are made in-house, and they've expanded to a sausage business (Spar Sausage Company), who's products can be found in stores. A great place to take the kids -- they even make child-size dogs here. Enjoy.
