R.I. Food Fights to celebrate wieners, hot dogs, and more beginning September 1st

Be part of the fun and choose the region’s best dogs

 

Wieners, Hot Dogs, Saugys, whatever you call them, they’re a Little Rhody favorite.

Rhode Island is known for its culinary scene, but hot dogs are an often overlooked menu item. With so many popular wiener spots around the area, including Sam’s New York Systems, Wally’s Wieners Providence, and Baba’s Original New York System Rhode Island is at the center of the Wiener-verse.

This September, RI Food Fights kicks off WIENER FEST, a contest inviting locals to sample dozens of the state’s best wieners and help choose a winner, one bite at a time. 

The concept is simple and irresistible. Participating wiener joints offer one free hot dog to anyone with a coupon from RI Food Fights. The coupons come bundled in a single book, known as the Passport, which is mailed directly to participants. For under $30, you can purchase a Passport and begin your summer/fall wiener tour. This year features more than 20 participating establishments.

With a Passport in hand, participants have the entire month of September to visit restaurants, food trucks, and hot dog stands across Rhode Island and taste everything the state has to offer.  Along the way, voters help decide which spot earns the coveted title of Best Wiener in RI.

Wiener joints span from Woonsocket to Westerly, making the competition a showcase of local businesses and a celebration of the state’s diverse and creative hot dog scene. Passports are on sale here, and organizers expect them to sell out quickly. Visit EventBrite.com to purchase yours and get ready to enjoy. Click here for more information on RI Food Fights.
