Don's Original traces to 1945 as a Sea Breeze stand on Irondequoit's Hot Dog Row, credited with an early move to serving hot dogs off paper plates rather than a cook's bare arm. WROC and 13WHAM covered its 80th anniversary and 2025 reopening under new owners, who kept the recipes intact. It is a genuine Rochester institution on Culver Road. Order a hot with hot sauce and a side of fries.
