Arthur Figg was a man ruled by routine. Every Tuesday at 7:13 PM, he prepared his signature dish: two all-beef frankfurters, cross-hatched and griddled to a precise chestnut brown, served atop a quarter-cup of Boston baked beans. No bun. No mustard. Just frank, beans, fork.
It was… wrong. The balance was off. The wiener-to-bean ratio had collapsed. The sweetness cloyed. The texture failed.
Then he saw them. A small, sad package of cocktail wieners. And a can of vegetarian beans in “maple-ish sauce.”
