The red wieners have always been a thing down here, as well. All the butcher shops in my Mom and Pops hometowns had them. When we came back to Texas from Cali all those summers ago we had weenie roasts in my mothers hometown of Shiner, Texas (of Shiner Beer fame) in the city park…good memories…!!!!! :happy:

Those are were sold up north, but not a big seller. Just all beef franks, not those red skinned ones that snapped when you bite into them. They were a novelty, special occasion purchase.

From my experience, the red ones are still popular in Maine. Any time we drive up there, we always get some. (If you can get past the bright red color you're eating, they're really delicious!) :joyfull:

I'm sure we all have something like that and most of the time it is no longer available. I was born and raised in upper, upper New York State. In our town there were four major fast food places that all started as curb service restaurants. You pull into the parking places surrounding the building (they had inside service too) and people would come out and take your order, and bring it out to you and attached the trays to the window. Three of those specialized in something called a Michigan Red Hots. There was one in particular that, to our family, stood out and was our favorite treat. (The fourth one was an A&W Root Beer place which also got a lot of our business) A Michigan Red hot was a boiled hot dog, on a special made steamed roll that was slit on the side instead of the top, and covered with a type of chili sauce with a strip of yellow mustard, that would fill up the remainder of the roll like a little boat. You could get onions on them also. It was delicious.

I was 5 when I had my tonsils out and on the way to the hospital the night before, I was asked what I would like for dinner, A Michigan and a chocolate milk was my reply. About two years later, by chance we were living almost exactly across the road from the place. When I was 15 we move out of NY and moved to VT where what passed for a Michigan didn't even come close. We made many trips back to NY to visit family and whenever anyone went there they were obligated to bring some back.

The guy that both had the recipe and was always there 7 days a week actually doing the cooking eventually sold out and sadly passed away shortly after that. It was never the same. I have searched the internet for years now trying to recreate the sauce and finally found one that was pretty close just a couple of years ago. But without the steamed special roll it just isn't the same, but close enough for me. I still don't have them very often, but typing this out makes me want to try it out one more time.

Another note on this…
Both my grandmothers made the best chicken soup I’ve ever had in my life. Mom can replicate it almost exactly. Except for the fact that she doesn’t hand make the noodles like my grandmothers did, and the chicken isn’t freshly killed.
I’ve related the stories before of my “dainty” grandmothers donning their bonnets, aprons, boots, and hatchets to go out to the hen house for fresh chicken.
Again, best chicken soup I’ve ever had by far, and I remember it like it was yesterday…!!!!!!! :joyfull: :hungry:

Gotta love new employee training.

Safety training.

"Here is how to safely open a filing cabinet."

😑

Just don't handcuff yourself to one and you'll be fine...
