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.

National Hot Dog Month Celebration 2011: Zippity Do Dog
Zippity Do Dog is a new twist on one of my favorite local hot dog joints. Owner Mike Gerrol changed the name from The Trolley Stop at the beginning of this season to put his own brand on the business. He purchased the business from Diane Dupres of Diezy’s Dogs a couple of years ago.
One thing he hasn’t changed is the fine selection of custom hot dogs- the Hawaiian Dog is one of my absolute favorites.
Here’s a video of my visit.
