The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced a multi-year partnership with Vernon-based Papa Cantella’s to supply Dodger Stadium with Dodger Dogs and its premium sausages.
“America’s Original Hot Dog” hit shelves at more than 1,000 Publix Super Market locations from Florida to Virginia in the brand's biggest retail launch to date.
Sausage revenues skyrocket as millions of stay-at-home consumers seek home-cooked meals that are novel, convenient, affordable, tasty and quick to prepare.
Similar to many other meat products, sausage sales are booming as a huge portion of the population eats more meals at home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of restaurants.
Approximately 7 billion hot dogs are eaten between Memorial Day and Labor Day each year with 150 million eaten on July 4 alone, according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC).
