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 […]

Wicked Good Wieners in Old Orchard Beach, Maine

I have never had a Maine Red Snapper until this trip! Mrs. HDM and I cruised the Pier and many beachfront grease shacks until we happened on a little hot dog cart that cooks all their hot dogs up fresh. Wicked Good Weiners were WICKED GOOD! See more about this place on The Hot Dog […]

Nunan’s Lobster Hut in Cape Porpoise, Maine

I know this is hot Dog Stories, but every once in a while I like to step out of the box. Since Nunan’s is on my top five favorite restaurant list, I figured it was as good a place as any to get away from hot dogs- even if only for a day. They do […]

Yank’s Franks in Wells, Maine

Snapping Good Health

National Hot Dog Month 2011: Day 31 at Nick’s Original Coney Island Weiners in Fall River

For the last visit of my month long quest I visited Nick’s Original Coney Island Weiners in Fall River, MA. Nick’s has been in business since 1920 and the current owners, Fred and Marcie Beaudry are carrying on the tradition in fine fashion. Since I got home at around 10 PM tonight, I am saving […]

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 […]
