James Eisenberg, who ran Vienna Beef, loved his hot dogs, dead at 92
He knew how to do every job there before he and Jim Bodman bought the Chicago company in 1982. To celebrate, they had steaks — not hot dogs — at Gene & Georgetti.

James Eisenberg was a champion of the Chicago hot dog.

As the head of Vienna Beef, he’d take his late wife Elin to eat at a nice restaurant downtown, but both always saved room for a post-dinner bite at a hot dog joint so he could make sure things were up to snuff.

“That was their dessert,” said Jim Bodman, who for years served as co-chief executive officer of Vienna Beef with Mr. Eisenberg. “It was part of their DNA absolutely and totally.”

A huge loss. So sad. He knew more about spirits and shared more of that knowledge than just about anyone else I've ever known. He will be greatly missed.
