If the takeout line was long, invariably there was some old guy who asked for a "hot weenie all the way!" Which we out-of-towners thought was hilarious, and creepliy sexual.Anne Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652406810655505449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-1434622192457225092011-01-28T16:16:54.631-08:002011-01-28T16:16:54.631-08:00I used to pass through East Providence years ago, ...I used to pass through East Providence years ago, and had to stop at the Coney Island Weiner system to give them a try. They asked me what I wanted on mine, I told them sauerkraut and mustard, the looked at me like I was from outer space and told me "we don't have that". So I ordered one plain. Tasted great. <br /><br />Next time I was up there I asked a friend from RI what you get on a weiner, and she replied "the sauce!!!!" Went into the same store and asked for a weiner with "the sauce" loved it! Until about an hour later when I had the worst heartburn I'd ever had. From what I understand the sauce is onions, ground beef, celery salt, and other things sauteed up for about 3 days until it becomes liquid. <br /><br />One other thing I tried when I was there was the coffee roll, which could be gotten from streetside carts in Providence and other places (similar to our roach coaches that sell the donuts and coffee). For the most part, the coffee rolls were what we know as cinnamon rolls, only sliced in half and fried up in the egg and bacon grease. Result, delicious but more heartburn.<br /><br />I liked the coffee milk too...and no heartburn!Andrew Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559545457057067607noreply@blogger.com
