Date Introduced: June 13, 2012 | |

Referred To: House read and passed | |

1-1 |
WHEREAS, Incorporated and established in 1962 by Greek immigrant Michael |
|
1-2 |
Sotirakos, Wein-O-Rama, on Oaklawn Avenue in Cranston, has been supplying those of us who |
|
1-3 |
are craving a “weiner-fix” with an “all-the-way” for the past fifty years; and |
|
1-4 |
WHEREAS, New York System restaurants can be found all over Rhode Island but |
|
1-5 |
George and Ernie Sotirakos, current owners and sons of the original proprietor, have been |
|
1-6 |
specializing and perfecting this famous fast food delicacy at the Wein-O-Rama for five decades |
|
1-7 |
and surely have a proven recipe for a unique and satisfying culinary experience; and |
|
1-8 |
WHEREAS, Whether you know them as Hot Weenies, Belly Busters, or Gaggers, and |
|
1-9 |
whether you order them with Greek-accented meat sauce, raw chopped onions, yellow mustard, |
|
1-10 |
and celery salt or any combination thereof, Wein-O-Rama is guaranteed to satisfy your taste |
|
1-11 |
buds; and |
|
1-12 |
WHEREAS, Rhode Islander’s have had an ongoing love affair with the Hot Weiner that |
|
1-13 |
has endured from one generation to the next and through multiple food fads. The perfect |
|
1-14 |
construction of a hot weiner is considered by some to be “a tour de force of short-order |
|
1-15 |
dexterity”; and |
|
1-16 |
WHEREAS, Even if the “Best Hot Weiners Anywhere” are not your desire, Wein-O- |
|
1-17 |
Rama also has a more traditional menu with sandwiches and hamburgers, Italian dinners, seafood |
|
1-18 |
platters, and a tasty array of breakfast foods; now, therefore be it |
|
1-19 |
RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and |

|

|
2-1 |
Ernie Sotirakos, Uncle Nick, and Mean Jean, as well as all the staff for maintaining this beloved |
|
2-2 |
Rhode Island culinary tradition; and be it further |
|
2-3 |
