So. Many. Buns! Politicians, astronauts, musicians and more. And they have vegan hot dogs and veggie chili!

The Hot Dog Bun Museum was a lot of fun. So much to look at, and the food that they sell is great. I ate the Moab hot dog -- it was huge. I guess 3 lbs., with chili dog and bun.

The TV series M.A.S.H. brought us to eat at Tony Packo's. We went the first time, back in the early 1980s, after hearing Jamie Farr mention it in one of the episodes. Farr played the oddball character Klinger; both Farr and Klinger hail from Toledo.
The signature "Hungarian hot dog" is very tasty. You can spends lots of time, and risk irritating other patrons, when you lean over their table to see who signed the hot dog buns. Sadly, the M.A.S.H. paraphernalia -- a homage to the show that brought Packo's world wide fame -- is no longer there.

I was amazed by the hundreds of hot dog buns signed by so many famous people at Tony Packo's Cafe. Great dogs, service and gift shop. Pick up a jar of any one of their pickles to take home -- you won't be sorry.
