Weiners .... Another Comfort Food from My Hometown

Having been feeling a bit nostalgic and hungry for some food from home I found this recipe from one of the many weiner joints I frequented during my teens and onward.  More than a hot dog, and in my opinion, better than a hamburger, these weiners covered with a layer of hot weiner sauce, finely diced, raw onion and sprinkled with celery salt is my idea of heaven in a bun.

By the way, it may be spelled weiner but it's pronounced weenee.

If you have never had one of these tasty morsels, you owe it to yourself to give it a try..... soon.

Enjoy!


New York Style Weiner from the RI New York Style Weiner diner

This hearty, flavorful wiener sauce is like the kind you'll find in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. It may be frozen until ready for use. Use premium grilled wieners cooked in butter, steamed hot dog buns and the fancy mustard of your choice. Spread with mustard, the sauce, chopped onions and celery salt... in that order. If you have a delicate digestive system, use with caution.
Prep Time: approx. 20 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 1 Hour . Ready in: approx. 1 Hour 20 Minutes. Makes 12 servings.
