Take On Life

Brian Koonz on life in Greater Danbury

A real hot dog

Hi everyone,

For most of his adult life, Tony Candullo worked in the concrete and masonry professions. He poured foundations. He built chimneys.

But last spring, the 65-year-old Candullo decided to chase a lifelong dream…and hitch it to the back of his Chevy Tahoe.

Candullo bought a hot dog cart in Maine, obtained all the necessary permits in Danbury, and set up shop on Main Street.

For some folks, a lifelong dream might be retiring to Florida. Or maybe, buying that flashy sports car you’ve always wanted.

Not Tony Candullo. His lifelong dream was wrapped inside a stainless steel box.

To learn why Candullo hawks hot dogs five days a week — and to learn about his top-secret chili recipe — read my “Take on Life” column on Friday.

Only in the print edition of The News-Times.
