no one actually says that ... not in same class of usage as organ donor and main squeeze. don't be lazy in Unsorted
and actually, you've insulted my birthplace. Texas weiners are BIG in New Jersey . . . and you know what they say about those with big Texas weiners https://www.loc.gov/collections/wor...tion/a-brief-history-of-the-hot-texas-wiener/ "two all the way, frenchy one!"
I think we need a separate Unsorted Texas Weiner thread I.D.I.O.T. "The Hot Texas Wiener and Its Preparation": https://www.loc.gov/collections/wor...ion/the-hot-texas-wiener-and-its-preparation/

We’re talking about New Jersey wieners named after Texas? New Jersey? still not in the same class of usage as organ donor and main squeeze. You Yankees always think your vernacular is so schpecial. As comparison, when I worked at a Jewish deli in Houston, we had a sandwich called The New Yorker ... corn beef with cole slaw and Russian dressing. New Yorkers would come in and say “There’s no such thing as a New Yorker sandwich.” Working the main sandwich board, I combated them by wearing a No Whining button on my hat. (The word Whining crossed out like Smoking). That made them pause ... bc they for sure don’t want to be labelled the Whiner in a Texas Jewish deli ... jeopardizing their oh-so-important deli street cred
if the U.S. had a Texas weiner it would definitely be a male country. just like an Oregon donor country would suddenly be Oregon-less. and which makes sense given the outsized ego folks in Texas have about everything Texan. (Which you are presently demonstrating with your sneering dismissal of New Jersey weiners. ) Maine squeeze on the other hand makes no sense at all. other than the homophonous play on Maine. you say Maine squeeze and all I can think of is Florida orange juice. Somewhere you've missed an opportunity for an Anita Bryant joke btw New Jersey Texas weiners are DELICIOUS. Whereas I cannot imagine a Texas Reuben is any good ... and that's all your vaunted New Yorker sandwich is, it's a Reuben.
I meant it as literally squeezed out,,,squashed...like the Oregon donor making the state disappear. Lame I know But at least I used a nation-wide Idiom ... not something only Jersey ppl use.
Reuben’s aren’t cold with coleslaw and no cheese ... The New Yorker at Kahn’s was an actual NY deli sandwich ... y’all just don’t call it a NYer. But it ain’t no Reuben, kid the NYers still ordered it, but their Texas-Sized Egos ( ) just wanted to whine about the name.
I stand corrected . . . your "New Yorker" (whatever) is like a cousin to the Reuben: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/241673/corned-beef-special-sandwiches/ say, did Kahn's in Houston CLOSE??? (http://www.citysearch.com/profile/9840864/houston_tx/kahn_s.html) WHY?? it was probably the pale imitation NYC sandwiches they served
A long time ago. Mike and Marcia got burnt out, and found a sucker to overpay for it — ready-made clientele, operations and lease. The replacement lasted a few years, now it Greek/Mediterranean food...I think.
Family-line. Look up Alfred’s in Houston Mike had exceptional contacts in Chicago for his meat. At its peak, Alfred’s had a whole semi-truck order from Chicago, so the meat salesmen lined up to get his son’s business. They allowed Mike to make his modest orders, that they otherwise don’t offer small clients.
Born and raised in Texas. Never heard of a Texas Weiner. I did see a Texas hot dog at James Coney Island on Bay Area (forever ago). Was a solid meal with chili and cheese.
Me either. I do know "Taylor Weenies" though. Red wieners from somewhere around Taylor, TX. Don't remember them being HOT. Just RED.
