The Hobart Capatain America Mixer-Made in the USA

In an age wher Made in America is becoming a rare find you can't help but get nostalgic and proud of the old days when things were built to last and perform. We love our hobart mixer so much that we painted him up and call him "Captain America". It may be hard to understand being fond a dough mixer but aside from our revoling deck brick oven and trusty pizza peel, little else is as important to a pizza man. Decades ago we heard from the old timers that the round leg 60 quart Hobart mixer was a machine unrivaled in dependability and famous for being industructable so we hunted down a 40 year old model and aside from replacing a faulty switch this baby has been the rock of Gibralter for us. Year in and year out it keeps going like my old Chevy Nova-just keep th oil changed, gas her up, turn the key and off you go. I guess the real nostaga here is where did the pride go in being great? This country was known for the leading the way in everything from education, cars, construction, music to space. Why is it ok to be second rate? Do the American people really agree with the direction we are going? Is cutting back the standards of acceptance for the masses an American idea or is it some sick socialist thought that is pervading our schools and media to bring everyone down to some base middle ground. Not everyone is the same despite being equal under the law. We at Goodfella's Pizza take tremendous pride in being Italian Americans, making a great pizza and being a vital part of our community. If someone would have told me 30 years ago that being proud of what you do is wrong, policaly incorrect or offensive to underachievers I would have puked. God bless America! If you are going to get a mixer than these tried and true Hobarts are for you!
