Our story

Same corner
since 1987

Walt Kowalski opened the stand with a borrowed steam cart and a used awning. His granddaughter Jo runs it now, and the steam cart still sits out front on summer weekends.

We buy our franks from a family smokehouse in Sheboygan and our buns from a bakery six blocks away. We never let a dog sit on the rail for more than twenty minutes.
