Kasper’s Hot Dogs

Casper’s or Kasper’s? Or the Original Kasper’s? Kasper’s hot dogs was founded in 1929 by Kasper Koojoolian. In 1939, two cousins broke off and founded Casper’s. Then Kasper died in 1943, and his son-in-law, Harry Yaglijian, took over the business on Telegraph.

The Telegraph location became famous over the years, but it closed in 2003. This location (and a rival Casper’s on Telegraph) live on.
