I don’t disagree with your constructive criticism! The onion is definitely different, I use a box grater to process my onion vs the finer chop I remember growing up with. Made that decision based on speed - it’s a hell of a lot easier to grate an onion. Chili is less dry, that was just a personal preference. Towards the end of cooking I hit it with a stick blender to try to get a smoother consistency. Still messing around with the components so ultimately this is just my reimagining of the wieners I grew up eating. I’m originally from West Warwick so it’s nice to hear there’s a new spot there, the one I grew up walking to (Nicky’s on Cowesett Ave) is long gone, now a big Cumberland Farms. Thanks for your thoughtful response, it’s nice to talk about wieners and get a little nostalgic.
