Page’s Whistle Pig on
Monday, March 1st, 2010
A recipe:
Business boomed at the little restaurant, where its famous “Whistle Pig” was invented in the 1950s. The delicacy is a hot dog wrapped in a strip of bacon, covered with melted cheese, and served on a fresh roll.
All hail the possibility that the Whistle Pig may be returning to the town of Niagara. I had one of those once about 10 years ago, and I think I’m still full from it.
