That snap, man. That snap is nostalgic and tremendously satisfying. That snap is unforgettable. That snap takes me back to New York street carts and delis. Thanks for bringing back the memories and also for showing us the future, Snap-O-Razzo.

Mike Hiller

No matter how you cook them - steamed, simmered, sizzled on the grill, or lazily plumped in a microwave - these are damn good hotdogs. Vegetarians find a loophole. No one should pass up a Snap-O-Razzo.

I grew up in New York and New Jersey eating hot dogs. Enjoying a good hot dog was often talked about at family functions and with friends. I even got in the hot dog business a few years back. Your product brings me back to the flavors I remember as a kid. I have always said, “Hot dogs skipped a generation.” Ralph Perrazzo’s passion has brought it back with Snap-O-Razzo Hot Dogs.

Eating and writing about hot dogs is my hobby. I have sampled dozens of brands and eaten at close to two hundred hot dog establishments. At the top of my list of favorites are Snap-O-Razzo brand hot dogs. They are high quality as well as delicious. The pork/beef blend has a unique, coarser texture and a wonderful blend of spices. The only mixed meat frank I will prepare in water as it is specially made to be prepared that way. I enjoy the all-beef franks prepared low and slow on a griddle. These are like the dogs you get in New York delis only with better quality beef and a richer, smokier flavor. Both franks are top of the line examples of their type and highly recommended. You won't find better quality frankfurters anywhere. If you love hot dogs, you must try these. Well worth going out of your way to find.

It is hot dog perfection.

Chef Marc Marrone

Regional Vice President Culinary Development Hyatt Hotel

Growing up in New York City, hot dogs were more than a staple food, they were part of a culture. A community of families and friends coming together, whether it's for a professional baseball game or a laid-back backyard bbq.My first bite of a Snap-O-Razzo dog brought me that feeling again, a time when quality and flavor was the culture, something dad was proud to be grilling and serving the family. The passion and care shines in all Ralph's products and as a chef and dad, I'm proud to serve them.

The Snap-O-Razzo hot dog is by far the best hotdog out there. From feeding our ranch crew and family, this is the only hot dog we serve.

Dave Bonner

Growing up as a butcher in New York, I learned about quality and how much it matters in proteins. Snap-O-Razzo hot dogs are the forefront of quality in world of hot dogs. The attention to detail put forth in the development of the Snap-O-Razzo hot dog line is bound to make these the premier hot dog that money can buy. The only hard part is limiting your staff from eating them all!

Chef Steven Luttrell

Dino's Nashville Dive Bar & Burgers

We don't often make any additions to our limited menu, but since debuting Snap-O-Razzo hot dogs at Dino's they have quickly developed an almost cult following. Customers love the natural casing which gives the hot dogs an old school feel while elevating a familiar product into something more memorable and unique.

They stimulate all 5 senses from the look and addictive aroma to the superior taste all while delivering a mouth feel and audible crunch.

At Sarge's, we've been serving New Yorkers since 1964, so we know a great hot dog when we taste one. Snap-O-Razzo hot dogs deliver that perfect old-school snap, bold flavor, and quality our customers love. They've quickly become a favorite on our menu and stand toe-to-toe with the classics we're famous for. When you serve a Snap-O-Razzo, you're serving the kind of hot dog that keeps people coming back.

Hands down, these are the best in the business! Ralph, you are truly a genius in your craft. Your dedication to using only the finest ingredient for your emulsifications is impressive.
There's simply no doubt that Snap-O-Razzo is the best hot dog on the market. From a taste perspective, they are unbeatable. Nutritionally, they stand out with their superior quality ingredients. It's always a pleasure to enjoy a product that is not only delicious but also made with such care and expertise.

A Snap in Every Bite
I've had my fair share of dogs, but nothing compares to the crispy, juicy, perfection of a well-made Snap-O-Razzo dog. The moment I took that first bite, I was hooked. The sausage was perfectly seasoned, with just the right snap when I bit into it. Snap-O-Razzo side by side comparison to what I was using wasn't even close; raises the bar. What truly elevated this hotdog to another level, though, was the feeling of pure joy with each bite. It was comfort food with a sense of adventure. Whether it's at my restaurants, or my house, there's something magical about the simplicity and satisfaction that comes with a hot dog. It's the kind of food that makes you smile and brings people together, and customers coming back. I never thought a hot dog could taste this good-it's more than just a snack, it's an experience. If you haven't had one that's this perfect, you're truly missing out!

"I grew up in New York and my memories of ballpark franks, dirty water street dogs and Grays Papaya are deeply woven into my childhood happiest comfort food experiences and connections. The Snap-O-Razzo brand hotdogs, both the beef and the pork and beef mix, changes my childhood memories and elevates them to a modern gourmet eating experience. The snap is what gives you the textural satisfaction followed by a fully seasoned and ultra-juicy filling. I could eat Snap-O-Razzo every day for the rest of my life. Thank you, Ralph, for doing what nobody else has accomplished!"

Chef Rick Moonen

"Not only do the Snap-O-Razzo dogs taste phenomenal, super juicy, and have an incredible snap, it reminds me of watching a baseball game with my pops eating a dog on Saturday afternoon. Great flavor even better memories!"

Chef Johnny Church II

Growing up in New York, hot dogs have always been a staple food for me. The perfect snap that Snap-O-Razzo has and just the right amount of smoke and seasoning makes them so easy to eat and crave again and again. Takes me back to being a kid, perfect food for game day, day off or late-night snack.

Chef Marc Marone Graffiti Bao

Owner Graffiti Bao

I think it’s really great seeing chefs look at their favorite foods and choosing to dedicate themselves to the craft of making those items better. The simplicity of the snaporazzo hot dog reveals dedication to execution without sacrificing quality. The texture of the bite is perfect, from the snap to the seasoning to the light smoke, it’s the best dog around.

Chef Ralph has a remarkable and unyielding passion for quality and technique with all things meat - it’s not in his nature to settle. He is a purist and has mastered the skill of taking traditional concepts and amplifying them, but keeping the original essence as the star of the show.

It takes real skill and real love to take something as classic and as simple as a hot dog and refining the process with high quality ingredients to bring the world what I believe is the tastiest, juiciest, and highest quality dog available, period. The snap, the juice, the texture & flavor of the meat - it’s the new standard of hot dogs, Snap-O-Razzo sets the bar high and the competition isn’t even close. It was love at first bite, and will be the tastiest wiener you’ll ever put in your mouth, without question.

"Snap-O-Razzo hot dogs just might be the best hot dog you’ve ever eaten ... "

Chef Brian Howard

Owner, Sparrow + Wolf

"Growing up in Germany, every time you go to a local butcher shop, they give the kids a "wiener". Having had the pleasure of trying some of Ralph's "Snap-O-Razzo" Hot Dogs, it brought back a lot of memories from the old days and how things should taste. I would call it the Best Hot Dog available today. Nice and juicy with a lot of flavor."

Chef Michael Stamm

"Being in the fine dining restaurant business my whole life, I know quality. Traveling Europe and the United States this is the best Hot Dog/Weiner I have ever had!"

Nick Palmeri

"A hot dog that tastes great is one thing, a hot dog that tastes great and doesn't give you agita after is another."

Regina Bonello

Bad Ass Mom and Loving Sister of Chef Ralph Perrazzo

Truly exceptional hot dogs! The attention to detail that Ralph has put into his product shows - great texture, flavor, and just the right amount of smoke. The natural casings provide the perfect snap/pop and hold up exceptionally well. These are an elevated iteration of what is often looked at as basic backyard bbq & street vendor food. I highly recommend trying both the beef and the pork & beef dogs!

The wiener other wieners want to be. Snap-O-Razzo Puts the Foot in Frankfurter.

Let’s talk about hotdogs. My first experience as a young kid, my uncle took me to Coney Island to ride the Cyclone Roller Coaster. What a scary, thrilling, breathtaking experience. My Uncle Frankie said, "there is one thing that will change your world." He took me over to Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs. Wow, what a hotdog. The snap, the flavor.

Now, let’s talk about Snap-O-Razzo hotdogs. My name is Geno Bernardo, 47-year-old chef living and working in Las Vegas. My first taste and cooking of Snap-O-Razzo was when my roommate brought home a sample. We fired them up and followed the instructions, then dove in and chowed down.

Hands down, without a doubt, THE best hotdog ever.

I'm rarely impressed by hot dogs you can buy in a supermarket. But I am very much impressed with your beef hot dogs. From one Brooklyn Italian to another, thanks for making a hot dog worth a damn!

JM

Customer

"What sets these apart is the incredible engineering: even after the classic dirty-water treatment (the only way I dog it), these dogs deliver that perfect snap followed by an explosion of silky, emulsified richness that's simply unmatched in the hot dog universe. The texture alone is a masterclass in charcuterie—every bite is a reminder that great food comes from obsessive attention to craft, regardless of the format."
