When I was growing up in Rhode Island, we used to go to The Riverside Kitchen for hot wienies and fish and chips. They made some of the best wienies and fish and chips in town. The Riverside Kitchen was and still is owned by the Mihalos family, and I went to school with the oldest son.
After visiting my Nana's grave at the nearby cemetery and the funeral home to make sure that arrangements for her memorial service were in place, I was craving some hot wienies, which are grilled hot dogs with mustard, celery salt, onions, and a special meat sauce on top that you can't get anywhere else past New York and New England.
Upon arriving at The Riverside Kitchen, I was pleased to see that the senior Mr. Mihalos was still running the place and making food. A waitress took my order and in less than five minutes, my three hot wienies were on the counter in front of me with a bottle of water. I wolfed down the wienies like a starving dog and they were great. The TV had the news on, and there was a story about an Idaho woman who alledgedly drowned her baby granddaughter. I said that it was in eastern Idaho, and I had been living in Idaho for 11 years and was here for Nana's memorial service. The waitress was nice and funny when she asked me "I don't mean to be nosy, but what did they do with her body for a month?" I told her that Nana's body was shipped for burial three days after she passed away (she died on May 2).
The hot wienies at Riverside Kitchen are great and the price is cheap ($1.25 each), but be warned, you might be tasting the wienies and onions long after eating them (Rhode Island humor). I was waiting for me to be tasting the wienies after eating them, but to my surprise, I remained burpless all day! I must be immune to them now, even four years after eating them last.
The Riverside Kitchen is a little greasy spoon that serves breakfast and lunch and is only open from 6am to 2pm every day. Service is great and quick. So, make sure that you get there early for lunch or a great breakfast.
