Boston Super Dog

Boston Super/Speed Dog, hot dogs are not very photogenic




That is Warren Buffett's favorite hot dog. Formerly Boston Speed Dog, now called Boston Super Dog for some reason.

That picture doesn't do justice to how big the hot dog is. I was going to get a picture of Connor holding it for scale, but he was focused on crawling at some hipster's single-speed. But the bun is a big sub roll.

This was my second ever Super/Speed dog. The first was a couple years ago when Heather and I went to a food truck festival at SoWa Open Market on some Sunday. We biked there right when it started at like 9:30am to check it out. We had heard about the Super/Speed dog, but for some(many) reason(s) we are never in Roxbury at lunchtime on a weekday. At SoWa, we decided to try one. I do not recommend eating a giant hot dog at 9:30am, then biking 10 miles which we did. It is not a good feeling.

My second Super/Speed dog, pictured above, was at the Greenway Mobile Food Fest. This time we went around 5:30pm, and almost every truck was sold out of most everything. I first went to Silk Road BBQ. I got pork skewers with mediterranean salad and rice pilaf, which was all they had left. It was kind of boring, I didn't even take a picture of it. Not dumb blog worthy. Also, it took them 25 minutes to make it because the coals weren't hot at first. That's no good.

The Super/Speed dog has onions, mustard, barbecue sauce and chili on it. That is a loaded Super/Speed dog. The dog is grilled, and is cut down the middle. It is really good. Heather even likes it. So if you are ever in Roxbury at lunchtime on a weekday, get a Boston Super/Speed Dog.
