I grew up in RI and have eaten more than my fair share of Hot Wieners! Personally, I LOVED this recipe! The smell while it was cooking had me concerned, but when it was married up with the mustard, onions, and celery salt, it was fantastic! I added a bit more water and let it simmer for an hour instead of 30 minutes. I also griddled the franks (can't get wieners in NC and hotdogs are too thick instead of boiling them and I put the mustard on top of the frank, not on top of the onions! Thanks for the recipe, Guy. This is as close as I can ever imagine getting to the real deal from RI. Nice job!

I've made this recipe several times and like it very much. It's not what I was expecting but that's why I like it! I agree with several others about the allspice and cinnamon. I cut those spices in half. I also add a small amount of brown sugar in mine and increase the heat with more chili powder. I prefer 93% lean ground beef as I don't like the excessive grease if made like the recipe calls for. Again, I really like this chili and look forward to trying the real deal when I get to Rhode Island.
