Best Hot Dogs

From MC Slim JB:

"This rickety food truck makes what the Wall Street Journal recently (and correctly) called the best hot dog in America, served in the middle of a wholesale food warehouse district. The giant dog is elaborately, lovingly prepared (marinated in brown sugar and cider, smoked on a closed charcoal grill, grilled on an open grill) and served with house-made condiments on a substantial grilled bun."

No alcohol available. Serving lunch Mon–Sat. Closed Sun. (Also closed Sat during August). Also closed during heavy rains.


"But it was in a parking lot in Boston that I found the hot dog in its highest form, the wiener with the wow factor, the frank of franks. ... Speed's is located in Newmarket Square, which is not some historic New England green space on the model of the Boston Common, but a triangular parking lot surrounded by bleak wholesale food warehouses in the untrendy Roxbury area. It is not so much a restaurant as a kitchen in a vehicle."
