A Canadian Classic, Reborn

Kwinter’s Hot Dogs is more than a food brand — it’s a family story that spans generations. Our story begins in 1946, growing into a local favourite through our family-run delis across Toronto in the 1960s and ’70s, and our beloved hot dog booths at the CNE throughout the ’70s. From the very beginning, quality, tradition, and flavour came first — and for decades, the Kwinter name was synonymous with great meat and even greater hot dogs.

 

Now, nearly 80 years later, the next generation has brought Kwinter’s back to life with a bold new look, a premium all-beef recipe, and the same commitment to quality that made us a local legend. Our flagship hot dog is crafted with 100% beef, no fillers, no sugar and no artificial flavours or colours and gluten-free. It's also COR-certified kosher — a modern classic that stays true to its roots.

 

Reviving Kwinter’s is our way of honouring that legacy and sharing it with a new generation of families, food lovers, and hot dog loyalists.

 

At Kwinter’s, we’re not just bringing back a product — we’re bringing back a feeling. The backyard barbecues. The ball games. The deli counter classics. With the Hot Dog King leading the way, we’re proud to serve a hot dog that’s worthy of the moments that matter - Crafted with uncompromising quality and standards you can trust. The Kwinter name has stood for quality for generations, and we're committed to carrying that legacy forward.
