In 1919 My Grandfather, Antonio Mazzola, unable to obtain work as a loader and dockworker in the heavily German and Irish controlled shipyards in Hoboken. NJ; he opened a Hot Dog Cart and followed an Italian tradition of being a peddler. Unhappy with the products and condiments available for Hot Dogs he modified an Old Italian recipe for Onions and used it as a Topping.
I finally have developed a commercial version of our families secret “Onion Topping”. This is a modification of an Old Italian recipe. Finally after 100 years, this secret recipe is now available to people who enjoy good tasting food. The Onion Topping I have developed in not only geared to Hot Dogs. Since it is a vegetable, it is also all natural and Gluten free has endless applications. It is very versatile and can be used as a topping over all kinds of meats, sandwiches both hot and cold or mixed with any other vegetable and pasta. |
