Hot Weiners T-Shirt - Cardinal

The Hot Weiners shirt pays homage The hot wiener, a staple of the food culture of Rhode Island where it is primarily sold at "New York System" restaurants. The Rhode Island wiener is made with a small, thin hot dog made of beef, veal and pork, giving it a different taste from a traditional beef hot dog. It is served in a steamed bun, and topped with celery salt, yellow mustard, chopped onions, and a seasoned meat sauce (which includes celery salt and sometimes include cumin, paprika, chili powder and allspice). The name “New York System” and sometimes “Coney Island System” appeared in Rhode Island in the early 20th century as a marketing strategy when hot dogs were closely associated with New Yorks Coney Island. By the early 1940s, a distinctly Rhode Island product and preparation had evolved among Providence's Greek community, popularized within the state such that the "wieners" served by New York Systems today bear little resemblance to the traditional Coney Island Hot Dog.
