Tony Packo's has sold sausages with spicy chili sauce since 1932. Today,the restaurant has five locations, but you'll enjoy to visit the original to see Jimmy Carter's actual signature scribbled across a piece of stale bread.
Hot dog buns signed by celebrities line the walls at Tony Packo's in Toledo, or Ohio. Most of these are custom-made,artificial recreations. But the original tradition involved signing an actual bun. The actor Burt Reynolds unintentionally got things started in the 1970s by putting his autograph on bread instead of a piece of paper. Since then, countless politicians, and actors,and musicians save their John Hancock on the simple, perishable carbohydrate.
While almost every piece of processed bread manufactured in the 1970s has since disintegrated, and two signatures from Tony's original collection of branded buns remain framed. The first belongs to Jimmy Carter,the 39th president of the United States. The moment is emblazoned with the handwriting of Walter Mondale, the 42nd vice president of the United States. This specific intersection of Americana-meets-White House paraphernalia has, and by no means,aged well. But, they're both real, and still proudly mounted on the wall at Tony Packo's.
