Hot Dog Day Trippin’ in Maine


Photo-A-Day #2650

Today Rob and I drove on up to Maine for a little Hot Dogging. We stopped at Flo’s Steamed Hot Dogs of Maine. Flo’s is famous for their secret brown relish. This little hole in the wall place is an iconic roadside hot dog joint. The hot dogs are steamed and come a few different ways. You can go with the house special, the loaded or pick your own toppings. Flo’s is also a jumping place with a steady flow of patrons.

On the walls and in some plastic bins there are tons of business cards. When people go to Flo’s they put their business cards on the wall and when the wall gets too full the cards are taken down and put into some of the plastic containers. Patrons are known to sift through them when they are enjoying their hot dogs. We have a full story of our adventure over at Hot Dog Stories.

I finally got to go on a National Hot Dog Month 2012 Tour stop. We went to Larry Joe’s New England Firepit but Larry Joe is not open on Mondays. Doh! So Rob and I hopped in our cars and drove up to Wakefield, MA to go to Fred’s Franks. Fred’s Franks is the home of the Shnurble. That was an experience! It will probably be the biggest Hot Dog I will have on the whole tour and it was incredibly tasty. Continue reading Experiencing the Shnurble
