Texas Wiener

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Texas wiener is a hot dog creation legend that was created in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, independently of each other. The Altoona, Pennsylvania Texas Hot Dog was created in 1918, while the Paterson, New Jersey Hot Dog was created in 1924. Altoona's original Texas Hot Dogs shop is still open today, although it has moved from its original location. The chain has also expanded into other parts of the county.

The wiener, also referred to as an all-the-way dog, consists of a hot dog covered in mustard (many fans of these prefer brown mustard over yellow), diced onions, and chili sauce.
