Here's how they make NY System Hot Weiners:

You would walk in and take a seat on a stool at the counter, to order you say something like, "Twelve "all duh way.". And then you sit and watch an amazing single hand assembly. First the steamed buns are skillfully lined up duh ahm from finger tips to elbow, and with swiftness a Rhode Island hot weiner is placed inside each bun.
Next came the stick, mustard was quickly slapped onto each weiner. Then, the top came off the steaming secret meat sauce the mini ladle was filled and meat sauce was spread over each weiner, the ladle went down and the lid was replaced. If you ordered your weiners "all duh way" finely chopped raw onions were dropped on each one by spoonfuls and celery powder was sprinkled over from elbow to finger tip.
Hot Weiners to go
The weiners were removed, usually by twos and placed on wax paper that was laid out and waiting. With quickness and precision the steaming hot weiners were wrapped in the wax paper, and almost instantly a brown paper bag was shook opened and the hot weiners wrapped in waxed paper disappeared into the bag.
You could order your hot weiners "all duh way" or "wid out duh onions." If you ate at the diner you always had a nice big glass of cold coffee milk.
When you ordered your hot weiners to-go (which we normally did) by the time you got home the paper bag was nice and greasy, you poured a glass of milk added some coffee syrup and devoured your hot weiners in three to four bites.
