Hot wiener

The hot wiener or New York System wiener is a staple of the food culture of Rhode Island, where it is primarily sold at "New York System" restaurants. The traditional New York System wiener is made with beef, veal and pork, giving it a different taste from a traditional beef hot dog. Served in a steamed bun, it is topped with celery salt, yellow mustard, chopped onions, and a seasoned meat sauce. Its spices vary by vendor, but always include celery salt, and commonly also include cumin, paprika, chili powder, and allspice. The name New York System appeared in Rhode Island in the early 20th century as a marketing strategy when hot dogs were closely associated with New York's 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. Restaurateurs continue to use the name as a way to advertise this particular local cuisine.
