"It's a deliciously spicy natural casing sausage in a bun topped with a unique beef-laden chili sauce: paprika, cumin, and red pepper. Filling and flavorful as this is, it should be accompanied by a side of deep-fried pickles and peppers—very Southern, but a tradition ensconced in Toledo."

"Their dog is exceptional. Spicy, plump, crisp grilled casing and topped with chili sauce, mustard and chopped onion."

"Serving authentic Hungarian food since 1932, Tony Packo's offers a delicious selection, from sweet hot pickles to the signature Packo's chili hot dog. They were featured on the hit TV show M*A*S*H*."
