The Hot Dog King.



This is the exact same guy who used to sell me my hot dogs when I was a little kid. I can't believe he is still there.



With all the new Building Development going on in downtown Roanoke, my father was telling me that there was some debate on if they were going to let The Weiner Stand stay in the same location. When I was a little kid, the style of this place was more 50s "drugstore diner style" that served Nehi Grape Sodas in glass bottles plus Two Hot Dogs for $0.75. They revamped the place after the big flood of '85.


Although my father has been a vegetarian for years, even he couldn't resist sharing a couple of Weiner Stand Chili Dogs with me.
