On Day 11 of The National Hot Dog Month 2012 Tour we find ourselves at Larry Joe’s New England Fire Pit risen from the ashes! What a triumphant return too. In December Larry Joe’s original Fire Pit burned down. But, from that tragedy Larry Joe rebuilt. With a brand new custom rig Larry Joe pulled into his spot at Larry’s Liquor Store (No Relation). He arrived to cheers from The Hot Dog Man. Larry had been gone too long. Continue reading Welcome Back Larry Joe!
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.
