Nick Loeb, best known as Sofia Vergara’s boyfriend, is an entrepreneur and politician. He recently sent me a big container of his new Onion Crunch- a kind of roasted onion condiment that’s great on hot dogs. I wanted to try it out, so I went down to Zipity Do Dog in Framingham to field test it.
Pink’s Las Vegas 2012
The original Pink’s is a 73 year old Hollywood icon. The Pink family still runs the joint and they plan to bring their hot dog style to the rest of Hot Dog Nation. The first new store opened in Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip nearly in 2009. Since then, they have opened another location in Ohio and have plans for many more throughout the USA.
While attending Affiliate Summit West 2012, a friend and I stopped in for lunch. Check out the video of our visit to Pink’s.
Ketchup? On a Hot Dog?
I have a certain opinion about putting ketchup on a hot dog. There are specific rules on the subject too. During my recent trip to Las Vegas for Affiliate Summit West, I roamed the conference and asked “the Question.”
The results are epic.
The Framingham Food Truck Festival 2011

We spoke to all the food folks and had a hot dog.
Boston Speed’s Famous Hot Dog Wagon
I haven’t been to Boston Speed’s since the 1990′s when the original Speed was still running the wagon. Today I went with my camera and my appetite. They are still ridiculously good hot dogs!

Fred’s Franks: In Search of the Shnurble
Just what is a Shnurble anyway? My crew and I headed up to Fred’s Franks (owned by Carl Galasso) so I could introduce them to a very unique hot dog: the Shnurble.
Fred’s Franks is owned by Carl Gallasso who bought the trailer from Fred a few years ago. It’s one of suburban Boston’s three “Pearls,” literally and figuratively. Fred’s serves grilled, Pearl Franks on the Big Green Egg with Wicked Good Charcoal.
We had some true silliness on our recent visit, check out the video.
