Buck’s Drive-In, located in Saltville, VA, has been owned for years by the Maiden family. One of my very best friends is the original owners granddaughters. Unfortunately, I never got to meet Buck before he passed away. However, I did get to meet Mildred (MawMaw) serveral times. She was a total trip. A sassy southern woman with a heart of gold and a very sharp tongue. She passed away several years ago.
Her hot dog chili was known throughout the region. The recipe was a secret and I never asked for it. So i searched for something similar. As well as I can remember, this is pretty close. Keep in mind, I have not had her amazing chili in over 15 years. This is how I remember it.
If you remember Mildred, Buck or the drive in please leave a comment below. I will pass it along to Joanna ( the granddaughter).
Thanks for watching and don’t forget to like and follow!
