Weenie Beenie was a chain of fast food restaurants, which is now reduced to one location. Weenie Beenie predominantly sells half-smokes, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, and soft drinks. Weenie Beenie was founded by Carl and Bill Staton in Arlington, Virginia in 1950. Bill Staton, a billiards player, used money from his pool playing to fund the restaurants, which numbered six at one time. Bill Staton was also known by the nickname "Weenie Beenie".[1] The final Weenie Beenie is the original location, in the Shirlington section of Arlington.[2] It is now particularly well known for its Half-smokes.[3] Dave Grohl, frontman for the band Foo Fighters, has been a DC area resident and recently lived in the Del Ray area of Alexandria, Virginia and loved the Weenie Beenie. A song on the Foo Fighters' first album is titled "Weenie Beenie" after the Weenie Beenie. See also{{portal|Food|Companies}}
