The work uniform and the manager's outfit.
Mighty Weenie, Inc. is a company that operates a chain of U.S.-based fast food restaurants specializing in hot dogs (but whether or not the restaurant offers variations, like chili dogs, is unclear). On Family Matters, there is a Chicago-based restaurant in the chain; Steve, Waldo and Eddie worked there for some years, and Dave McClure (Greta's father) was Eddie and Steve's boss there before his departure in the episode "Getting Buff". Another episode, Buds 'n' Buns, reveals that employees are paid minimum wage but get a bathroom break every 6 hours.
The restaurant's menu offers hot dogs of varying sizes, plus fries and soda.
Employees[]
- Eddie Winslow - Restaurant waiter in the middle of season 4 to pay for his payments of his new car. In the end of Season 4, he was promoted to Restaurant Manager. Eddie started out from Seasons 4-7 but later quit his job in the beginning of his sophomore year of college.
- Waldo Faldo - Waldo started out as a restaurant cashier but was terrible at it. Eddie remembers Waldo is a master chef and he got an A in home economics. So he moved him up to the kitchen and was a successful as a chef in Mighty Weenie. Waldo started out from Seasons 5-7, but later quit when he started attending culinary school.
- Steve Urkel - Works the drive in and cashier at the restaurant. Still clumsy, but he is a good worker. Steve used to work as a waiter in Rachel's Place in season 2-3. No explanation was given to why it never appeared again, but it could be presumed that Rachel sold Rachel's Place to Dave McClure before she moved to Detroit to care for a relative of hers and Harriette's. Thus, it left both Urkel and Laura without a job. With Eddie's help, Steve found employment at Mighty Weenie. He worked there as a cashier from seasons 5-7 and he quit when he started college.
- Dave McClure - He owns the chain of Mighty Weenies and he is Eddie, Steve, and Waldo's boss. Eddie is dating his daughter Greta. Dave doesn't like him or trust him. He tried to break up their relationship. In the end, he gave her daughter an ultimatum: his money or Eddie. Greta chose Eddie and he cut her off. After that, they haven't spoken again.
- Carl Winslow - Eddie's father and Steve's neighbor who worked at Mighty Weenie on a part time basis. He needed to come up with the extra money to pay for the repairs of the kitchen window after ignoring Harriette's admonition to replace the defective gas tank on his barbecue grill.
Trivia[]
- No explanation was given as to why Mighty Weenie replaced Rachel's Place in the later seasons. It could be presumed that Rachel sold the restaurant to Dave McClure before relocating to Detroit to care for a sick relative of hers and Harriette's.
