Historic Jimmy Buff’s and the Italian Hot Dog Honored With Miniature Wooden Collectible

The ancestors of the creator of the Italian Hot Dog continue to serve up Italian hot dogs every day. Over the years, Mike Loikith says that about twenty locations came and went as his great-grandfather and grandfather passed away, but his cousins Jimmy and Tommy still run a West Orange location. To honor 90 years of continuous service, the West Orange location is now going to be part of the New Jersey Historic Wooden Collection as the 25th addition.
