Speed's Hot Dog Stand

Food: Take Out
Food Type: Hot Dogs
For Who: You like hot dogs? You will love Speeds. The dogs are so big that one is almost big enough for two. Order Speed's way, loaded with home made chili, BBQ sauce, onions, relish etc.

Recently rated by the Wall Street Journal as their favorite hot dog in the country. I understand the enormous dogs are marinated in apple cider and brown sugar before they are grilled on a charcoal fire and piled high with toppings. Whatever the method, a trip to New Market Square to visit Boston Speed's is definitely worth every penny. Today, in 95 degree stifling heat, customers waited patiently for their dogs as they chatted with the owner. Bring your appetite and you will be fine. Enjoy.
