S. Rosen's Anniversary Celebration to Help Food Pantries

The smell of fresh bread baking in the morning always often brings back memories of growing up across the street from the Mary Ann Bakery in the Hermosa/Kelvyn Park neighborhood. The bakery also made S. Rosen branded baked goods and we would head to school with near-certain knowledge that if we ate a hot dog or burger at lunch, it would be served on either a Mary Ann or S. Rosen bun.

There's also a 90 percent chance that any hot dog you eat in the city is served on a S. Rosen bun. S. Rosen celebrates its centennial anniversary this year and to celebrate, they'll be donating ten cents from every hot dog eaten in the city from July 13-19 to local food banks. Tim Lotesto, Marketing Manager of Alpha Baking Co. (S. Rosen's parent company) said that they have a goal of $100,000 to raise for the food banks, which means we have to eat 1 million hot dogs.
