Nu-Way Weiners, Inc. is a company that operates a chain of fast food restaurants that started in Macon, Georgia, United States. Nu-Way is known for hot dogs (or wieners, not the misspelled "weiners") – unique for their red color. Nu-Way also serves other breakfast and lunch items, including pancakes, grits, sandwiches, and hamburgers. As of 2016, 10 Nu-Way Weiner restaurants operate in the central Georgia area, although the main location on Cotton Avenue in downtown Macon is temporarily closed to a fire in 2015. Nu-Way's slogan is "I'd Go a Long Way For a Nu-Way" and is a registered trademark of Nu-Way Weiners, Inc.HistoryIn 1916, Greek American James Mallis opened a hot dog stand in Macon named “Nu-Way Weiners.” Established the same year as Nathan's Famous hot dog stand in New York City, Nu-Way is one of the oldest hot dog restaurants in the United States.By 1968, three Nu-Way Weiner restaurants existed, which expanded to nine locations by 1972. Nu-Way developed a clientele with a taste for its hot dogs with chili ("chili dogs") and hot dogs with cole slaw ("slaw dogs"). Because of that combination, The New York Times declared Nu-Way to be the "king" of the slaw dog "hill". A quarter-pound hamburger, called the Mega-Burger, was also added to the menu.
