You are reading this because Mr. Sauce, Esq. pointed out I didn’t do a single Wiener Wednesday this summer. And I want to give him a hearty thanks because, however neglectful I’ve been to the blog, I couldn’t let this year pass without an addition to the Wiener Wednesday archives. It would be wrong. Plus,Continue reading WIENER WEDNESDAY: 203. Stuffed Franks
Welcome to Wiener Wednesday! This week’s recipe comes from an October 1975 issue of Seventeen Magazine. IT’S DOG EAT DOG! Partytime or anytime, serve America’s under-the-umbrella favorite in an irresistible round-about way: Slash frankfurters along one side, broil, and place on a hamburger bun. Fill the center with taste-tempting delights like the ones shownContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: The Frank Sinatra (1975)
Welcome to Wiener Wednesday! DiS1972 reader Dana is a good friend of the blog and submitted this recipe (with a boatload of other hot dog gems) for my consideration. I picked this recipe because of the adorable illustrations and the whimsical name, Snow Caps (although it was tough to pass on something called 20th CenturyContinue reading WIENER WEDNESDAY! Cutco Cookbook: Snow Caps (1956)
OK, I’m a crazy person. AN ABSOLUTE CRAZY PERSON! It is just now, JUST NOW! As I am writing this goddamned post that I realize that in 2021 I ALREADY MADE THIS DINNER!!!

It’s the last Wiener Wednesday of 2022! Today we have another reader-submitted recipe. Poppy Crocker from Grannie Pantries was kind enough to send over this gem from Loyta Wooding’s Smart Shopper’s Cookbook (1972). Here’s the obvious question–what, exactly, is the surprise here? These are obviously not drumsticks. Do you think you’d eat ground pork wrappedContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Surprise Drumsticks (1972)
Happy Wiener Wednesday! This week I’m taking a stab at Frankfurter Cheese Boats! I chose this recipe because the ad promises me “a boat load of good eating!” “Hot Dog,” you’ll say, “I’m glad we made ’em with Kaukauna Klub” To bring you distinctively flavored Kaukauna Klub, we take the finest of natural cheddar cheeseContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Kaukauna Klub Frankfurter Cheese Boats (1954)
For today’s Wiener Wednesday, we have a reader-submitted recipe! Paris B. sent me a selection of Frankfurter Recipes from the 1979 edition of the Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery. I own a set of the 1966 edition–I’m wondering how much they changed in 9 years. The chapter on the humble frank begins as such: FRANKFURTER–FrankfurtersContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Frankfurter and Sauerkraut Goulash (1979)
Weiner Wednesdays are back, kittens! For the next four weeks it’s gonna be nothing but WIENERS, WIENER, WIENERS! To kick off Wiener Wednesdays, I present to you the Ortega Hotter Dog.

We’ve come to the end of the Summer of Franks! And let me tell you, it couldn’t come soon enough. Bring on fall! And bring on dishes that don’t include cylindrical-shaped foods! For the very last Wiener Wednesday, I turned to Click Americana and One-Dish Frankfurter Meals. I was feeling a little spicy, so IContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Mexican Franks & Eggs (1965) and Montezuma Bloody Maria (1974)
Hello there! After so many weeks of weenies, it’s a surprise that I had not yet featured a dish from this cookbook, the 1983 reissue of Mettja C. Roate’s New Hot Dog Cookbook. I’m in. I want new and exciting ways to make hot dogs! The cover art is a bit of a let downContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Hot Dog Round-Up Sandwiches (1983)
It’s another Wiener Wednesday, people! This week I recreated an 1956 hot dog ad from Pinterest which features a recipe called New Swank for the Frank. Note: the dictionary definition of swank is: stylishly luxurious and expensive. Just keep that in mind as we delve into these dogs. Done up brown, with extra flavor sizzledContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: New Swank for the Frank (1956)
America’s Sweetheart, Betty White has been known to say that the secret to long life is vodka and hot dogs. If that is true, then I will live to be over a hundred. With Betty in mind, this week’s Wiener Wednesday features weenies and vodka: Yes, I am fully aware that the recipe only featuresContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: The Charlie Burch (1975)
Yet another Wiener Wednesday dish that I chose because of the name. The Babysitter’s Favorite. This is from Crock-Pot Cooking by Marilyn Neill. As someone who was only a babysitter for a single summer because I disliked it so much, I can’t really speak on what would make this a babysitter favorite; so instead IContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: The Babysitter’s Favorite (1975)
It’s another Wiener Wednesday and another Dinner is Served 1972 card!!! I apologize that this dish looks super-similar to Pine Valley Red Hots from seven weeks ago (OMG I cannot believe that I have been doing these for nearly 2 months). Compare the Deviled Hot Dogs above to the Pine Valley Red Hots: Strikingly similar.Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: 207. Deviled Hot Dogs

So today’s post is in celebration of both hot dogs and cowboys. And Elvis. LOGIC: Elvis played a cowboy in multiple movies.

Welcome to Wiener Wednesday! Time for another delightfully named hot dog dish, Pig-in-a-Poke! This recipe is from Better Homes & Gardens Barbecues and Picnics (1963). Do you know what a pig in a poke is? I didn’t know what a pig in a poke is, so I took to the internets. A pig in a poke isContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Pig in a Poke (1963)
Today’s recipe, Frosted Franks, was submitted by DiS1972 reader Diana. I applaud her for finding it. Ah, Frosted Franks! A sane person may imagine that Frosted Franks is much like 174. Frosted Meatloaf–a little meat wrapped in mashies: That sane person would be wrong. Very wrong. I am sure that you’ve seen this recipe floatingContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Frosted Franks
By now we all know that Vincent Price was a beast in the kitchen, yes? You definitely do if you’re a regular DiS1972 reader. His recipes appear on the blog numerous times (including a Wiener Wednesday!). Todays dog dish, Hotchpotch of Curly Kale, is from Vincent and Mary Price’s Treasury of Great Recipes (1965). ItContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Vincent Price’s Hotchpotch of Curly Kale (1965)
