Inside Vienna Beef: The Chicago icon that defined the Windy City's hot dog tradition

When you think of a Chicago-style hot dog, any purest knows it has to start with one thing, and that is Vienna Beef. It's been a Chicago staple that has stood the test of time for more than 130 years.

In a FOX 32 Special Report, Sylvia Perez went behind the scenes at the factory and showed us why Vienna Beef is synonymous with a recipe for success.

Chicago's famous World Columbian Exposition of 1893 introduced many firsts. The zipper, the Ferris wheel, the automatic dishwasher and Vienna Beef hot dogs, still made in Chicago today.

"Vienna is just one of those classic, iconic Chicago companies, so everyone gets really excited," said Taylor Bodman.

Taylor and Jack Bodman are brother and sister and just two of seven children of the family patriarch Jim Bodman. Jim bought the company more than 60 years ago. He had originally been a warehouse employee. Today, Jim and the Bodman family still take pride in the original all-beef recipe that is now shipped to hot dog stands, grocery stores and restaurants around the country.

Suburban family's home overrun by garter snakes despite attempts to keep them out

Garter snakes are invading a suburban family's home. Despite their efforts to keep them out, their booby traps are not working.

Tiffiny Newman has caught nine snakes in the past 14 days and there's even more that she's caught slithering in her Sauk Village home.

Newman rented the home with her two adult daughters in August 2023, paying the market rent rate.

On the first day, they spotted a snake in the basement and since then, they've traveled to the first floor, even coming out of the kitchen cabinets.
