WE HAVE BEEN PERFECTING OUR LINE OF HOT DOGS, PICKLES, CHILI, AND OTHER FOOD ITEMS SINCE 1932.

Born in 1908 to Hungarian immigrants, Tony Packo was a native of Toledo’s East Side. He learned the restaurant business while working for his older brother, John, who owned the Consaul Tavern located on what is now the Original Tony Packo’s parking lot. In 1932, Tony and his wife, Rose, received a $100 loan to open a sandwich and ice cream shop. This was during the hardest of hard times, the first years of the Great Depression.

Tony’s signature sandwich – sausage with sauce on rye – was created when he decided to add a spicy chili sauce to enhance it’s flavor. He used a Hungarian sausage called Kolbasz but because it was so large, decided to cut it in half. Not only did it resemble the size of an American hot dog, he could sell it for 5¢, a deal during those tough times. Tony’s creation was called the Hungarian hot dog. Those who knew the Old Country’s food said there was no such thing as a Hungarian hot dog, until Tony invented it.

Packo’s food was an instant hit in the neighborhood and word quickly spread around town about the delicious new hot dog at Tony Packo’s. By 1935, due to the success of the sandwich and ice cream shop, Tony and Rose were able to buy a building of their own. They purchased a wedge-shaped establishment at Front and Consaul Streets, which, over the years grew in size and fame as it be-came home to what is today’s Original Tony Packo’s Restaurant. n

WE HAVE THE MOST POPULAR BUNS IN THE MIDWEST!

In 1972, Burt Reynolds was in Toledo starring in a pro-duction of “The Rainmak-er.” He stopped by Tony Packo’s and was asked for his autograph. Reynolds picked up a hot dog bun and signed it thus begin-ning the tradition of “bun signing.”

Packo’s Buns – now a foam replica of the real thing – have been signed by presi-dents, actors, musicians, astronauts and many more can be seen in all Packo restaurant locations. n

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF US FROM M*A*S*H!

Tony Packo’s gained world-wide fame when M*A*S*H character Corporal Maxwell Klinger, played by Jamie Farr, also a Toledo native, made mention of the Packo’s restaurant in six episodes of the show. n
