Nu-Way is also very famous throughout Macon and Central Georgia for its Famous Flaky Ice. As of 2019, nine Nu-Way Weiner restaurants operate in the Central Georgia area. The original location on Cotton Avenue was destroyed due to a catastrophic fire in 2015. Nu-Way's slogan is "I'd Go a Long Way For a Nu-Way" and is a registered trademark of Nu-Way Weiners, Inc. Mega-Burger and Nu-Way are both registered trademarks. In 1916, Greek American immigrant James Mallis opened a hot dog stand in Macon named "Nu-Way Weiners." Established the same year as Nathan's Famous hot dog stand in New York City, Nu-Way is one of the oldest hot dog restaurants in the United States. By 1962, three Nu-Way Weiner restaurants were in operation. Expansion, which included franchising, took the total to eight locations by 1972. Nu-Way developed a very loyal customer base with a taste for its hot dogs with chili sauce ("chili dogs") and hot dogs with cole slaw ("slaw dogs"). "The New York Times" declared Nu-Way to be the "king" of the slaw dog "hill". During the morning hours of March 13, 2015, the original Cotton Avenue location was destroyed by fire. Fortunately, the iconic neon sign was saved from the blaze. The owners have indicated the restaurant will be rebuilt at some point. Food critics have praised Nu-Way for its authentic Southern American cuisine and nostalgic atmosphere. In November 2007, Nu-Way received widespread media attention when Oprah Winfrey visited the restaurant while in Macon to tape the annual "Oprah's Favorite Things" episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show".
