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.

Snapping Good Health
Since January of 2011, I have lost 40 pounds and I ate a hot dog a day in July. This morning, I went for a check-up with my doctor- he was surprised by my cholesterol levels!

National Hot Dog Month 2011: That’s My Dog in Plainville, MA
For the 30th stop on the journey to eat a hot dog a day in honor of National Hot Dog Month, Little Miss and I pulled off 495 on our way to the beach to lunch at a little hot dog cart called That’s My Dog. It’s a cute little cart run by a guy named Mike Hogan who is very dedicated to his craft.
