- [Restaurant Worker] Good morning.

- Hey.

- Hey, what can I get for ya?

- [Customer] Nine, all the way with extra chili.

- Is that it?

- Um-hm.

- [Restaurant Worker] Alrighty.

Can I get nine all the way extra chili?

[upbeat rhythmic beats] [background talking] [pans clanging] [paper scrunching] - [Deborah] What is Carraway known for?

- We're the Hot Dog Church [chuckling].

[celestial organ music] [celestial organ music continues] [background talking] It's where everyone comes to get a hot dog during the summer months, from the first Saturday in May until Labor Day.

- [Customer] They put a sign out front that says, hot dogs, and anybody that wants to come get a hot dog can come.

This is homemade chili, it's a secret recipe that somebody back there has.

- [Steve] The White Oak Plant of Cone Mills Corporation was right across the street, and then there was was a block of shops.

There was a drug store, a YMCA, a hotel, a company store, and they started making that chili from scratch to sell on the hotdogs in the company store.

- They've been making the chili out there in their old company store for all these years and then when we started our building, 48 years ago, they gave us a copy and we've kept it all these years and make it ever Saturday the same way.

Carraway, has a lot of members here, a lot of our top men was going to church down there so if we're not making hot dogs, they make hot dogs, they do the same thing like this to us.

[background talking] [indistinct] - [Person] Oh really?

- [Steve] The Friendship Class is our oldest class in the church with an average age of probably 85, they actually started the hot dogs in the 1990s.

- I'm now 87 years old, I helped build this shelter.

Every year I cook chili, 80 pound every week.

A lady that used to come to our church taught me how to do the chili.

- When C.L.

first started learning to make the chili from her, she would actually make C.L.

walk outta the shelter while she added the spices.

And then it became apparent that she had to eventually pass it down to someone so she finally had to show him the amounts and what the ingredients were rather than run him out and and add it herself.

The chili is what really brings everyone back here and we sell it individually and people take home a lot of chili to prepare and put on their hot dogs when they grill out during the summer months.

- Absolutely no grease, I don't know how they do it, but when it's cooked it's not greasy at all.

- We do come here every Saturday, for the most part, from May to September.

I usually start out with one hotdog and then I go back for a second [laughing].

- [Sherry] There's not a hotdog that I could get anywhere else that would be tasting like these, you know.

- They're definitely worth the trip.

- It's definitely worth a trip, yes.

- It's a social event.

They don't just come and get a hot dog and leave you see some of 'em sit here for hour, hour and-a-half, it's the place to be on a Saturday for them to come and get a hot dog and then enjoy the camaraderie with their friends.

- Yes, enjoy.

- Thank you.

[background talking] - [Customer] Yep, we'll see ya a little later.

- [Deborah] Carraway United Methodist Church is located at 1301 16th Street in Greensboro, and they serve hot dogs every Saturday until Labor Day.

If you find yourself craving a hot dog, after the summer months, be sure to stop by the American Legion Post 386 located at 1206 American Legion Street where you can get a hot dog every Saturday until 2:00 p.m.
