Main Street Hanover joins our downtown community in remembering James A. Plakas, beloved owner of Texas Hot Weiner Lunch, who passed away on October 17, 2026, at the age of 91.

For 65 years, James welcomed generations of customers through the doors of Texas Hot Weiner Lunch, becoming so much more than a local business owner. He became part of Hanover's story, creating memories, building relationships, and leaving a lasting mark on the community he called home.

His grandson, Yianni Barakos, shared a beautiful tribute about James's influence on his life, including how conversations with his grandfather helped inspire the creation of Mason Dixon Distillery. His son, Tony, also shared a heartfelt message reminding everyone just how much Hanover and its customers meant to his father.

As we remember James, we encourage everyone to stop by Texas Hot Weiner Lunch, 38 Carlisle Street, in the coming weeks. Enjoy a familiar favorite, share a meal with someone you love, and help celebrate the legacy of a man who spent 65 years serving our community.

Our deepest condolences go out to Celia, the entire Plakas family, the Texas Hot Weiner Lunch team, and all those who knew and loved James. His legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched and the memories made around his counter.

For the full press release and more about James's remarkable life and legacy, comment TEXAS below, and we will share the link in the comments.
