Jack's Hot Dog Stand Addresses Hot Dog Taste Change

Staff Reports Print Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Jack's hot dogs do taste different but, don't worry, the Levanos family is working on it.
 
Owners Jeff and Joe Levanos took to social media Monday morning to address a particularly worrying concern in North County - Jack's hot dogs just taste a little off. 
 
"We here at Jack's have obviously noticed this as well and have been working for weeks with our distributor to find out what the issue is," they wrote. 
 
The Eagle Street hot dog stand has been working with their distributor to figure out exactly what the problem is. Like many things, it appears to be a supply issue.
 
"What we are being told is that our distributor is having problems getting specific ingredients that our recipe requires. Consequently, they have had to make substitutions," they wrote. "What we want everyone to know is that this is not a change that Jack's made and certainly isn't one that we are happy with."
 
Thankfully, the Levanos family wrote that this should only be a temporary issue.
 
"We are being assured that our distributors are working feverishly on this issue and we should be back to business as usual hopefully soon. We have been doing business with this particular company for almost 100 years, so you can understand our reluctance to switch companies at this point. However, we are preparing to do whatever it takes to protect our business and keep our customers happy."
 
"We are asking for your patience and continued support while we try to rectify this unfortunate situation."
 
But the hot dog stand apparently has nothing to worry about. Comments on the social media post indicate that Jack's Hot Dog Stand's loyal customers would keep coming back even if this hot dog crisis was permanent.
 
One commenter said he would return even if the hot dogs were made out of shoe leather. Another simply said nothing would stop them from ordering Jack's. 
 
Other commenters just reminisced about their own time spent in the North Adams fixture proving that Jack's Hot Dog Stand is more than just a hot dog recipe.

The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has Southern Vermont is under a winter storm warning and the Berkshires a winter storm advisory. 
 
Higher elevations could see up to 12 inches but the forecast for now is 6 to 8 inches by Friday.
 
Southern Vermont could see difficult travel with heavy snow and reduced visibility starting later Wednesday afternoon and through Thursday morning. Snowfall rates could reach up to 1 inch per hour within lake effect and upslope snow areas.
 
Travel could still be hazardous in Northern Berkshires but snowfall should be lighter with less accumulation. Windy conditions at 30 to 40 mph and snow squalls will continue through Thursday. 
 
There is significant risk for snow and sleet along the Green Mountains and into Clarksburg, North Adams and parts of Williamstown. There's an elevated risk for all of North Berkshire and the Southern Berkshire hilltowns along with expectation of wind gusts and cold.
