Johnny & Hanges

Johnny and Hange's opened the window of their hot dog stand on River Street, Paterson July 4,1939. Coincidentally on the very same day the great Yankee ball player, Lou Gehrig, made his retirement speech at the Bronx Bomber's stadium. On this side of the Hudson River, Johnny Scovish and Angelo (Hange) Mariano, seeing the lines of customers waiting to be served, must also have been thinking: "we must be the luckiest men on the face of the earth". From that day to the present, customers are enjoying their famous Jersey or known to some as Texas wieners: "All the Way!"
