I live in Portland ME and have a craving for them...

Actually, I kinda hope they only exist there. I love those little things about Rhode Island that make it unique. Plus it means that whenever I go back I eat an armful of them.

After you've had your armful of weinies and a couple of large coffee milks you can get some to take with you to have at home...the secret is to ask for them on a cold bun, you would be surprised at how well they reheat. Have a nice ride!! Fri Nov 14 09:07:04 -0800 2003 858134 0 DodinBouffant 1 2824000 You can order them now and make them at home - Famousfoods.com sells everything but the "weinies" and they will be offering them on their site very soon- I know- I asked them to start selling them and they said they would have them for sale within a month. :) Oh happy day !!
