WCVB Channel 5 in Boston has a long running, popular news magazine show called Chronicle.
The Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy (www.rosekennedygreenway.org) is pleased to announce May 5th as the new date for the Greenway Mobile Food Fest, with a rain date planned for the following Saturday, May 12th. The event, which takes place from 11:30 AM to 7 PM, will highlight 22 food trucks, carts, and bicycles, and include a cook‐off of Spring‐inspired dishes, which will then be evaluated by a panel of celebrity chefs. The event itself is free, and the 22 Spring‐inspired dishes will be available for purchase.
The Greenway Mobile Food Fest is an outgrowth of “Greenway Mobile Eats,” a food vending program which has grown in popularity every year since its inception in 2010. The Greenway Mobile Food Fest was originally scheduled for October 2011, but was postponed due to space constraints and safety concerns.
Greenway Mobile Food Fest isn’t simply for “foodies,” however. Six local bands will also be performing:
Brendan Hogan, Larcenist, Mount Peru, Audrey Ryan, Mister Sister, and Coyote Kolb. There will also be an array of backyard games like bocce, croquet, ladder ball, and baggo, and a Kids’ Zone with crafts and other activities. A canned food drive will support the Greater Boston Food Bank.
“The Greenway Mobile Food Fest has something for everyone,” says Nancy Brennan, executive director of the Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy. “You’ll get to sample some of the best street food in the country, spend time with our panel of celebrity judges, play games, and enjoy the plants, flowers, and public art on the Greenway. Bring your friends, your family – and your appetite!”
Wondering what type of fare will be presented for judging? Examples include shortbread with housemade vanilla‐scented strawberry rhubarb compote with whipped crème fraiche, grilled Korean rice cakes and asparagus on skewers with a spicy cilantro pesto, spring vegetable gazpacho, and rhubarb cinnamon popsicles.
Judges will include chef David Chinta of Miel at the Intercontinental Hotel and chef Jason Santos of Blue, Inc. and the FOX TV series “Hell’s Kitchen.”
The Greenway parks are fully accessible to people with disabilities. The Wharf District Parks on the Rose Kennedy Greenway are accessible through the MBTA Aquarium (Blue Line) Station, and in close proximity to both North Station (Green, Orange and Commuter Rail Lines) and South Station (Red, Silver and Commuter Rail Lines).

With the advent of Spring, the Hotdogman begins venturing out to explore new and exciting places to munch on that most ubiquitous of encased meats: the hot dog. I have two trips scheduled this week.
On Thursday, I will be heading into Boston's Chinatown to check out a Bostonian version of Vancouver's Japadog, which just opened an east coast location in New York City. Fei Fan Eatery is not affiliated with Japadog, but the style of hot dog and spirit of the place is the same. Joining me will be Drew Bennet from the Benspark Blog. Drew likes his hot dogs and will be accompanying me on the National Hot Dog Month Tour 2012 as co-host and camera man. He'll be coming on some of the Springtime jaunts as well.
Friday night features the return of the lovely and talented, processed cheese hating Mrs. HDM as we have a date night planned in beautiful Somerville, MA at Trina's Starlight Lounge. Trina's features gourmet style "haute dogs" on the menu every Friday. Boston Food Bloggers are invited to join us and CHOW DOWN on some dogs whilst quaffing their favorite libations from Trina's bar. Hope to see some fellow foodies from any food genre at the bar!
Master Chef is coming to Boston for theirr third season of casting! In case you're not familiar with the show, it's the Gordon Ramsay cooking show that looks for the top "home chef" in America. That means that anyone 18 years and older who has a love for food (and doesn't cook professionally for a living) is eligible. The show offers people of all ages and walks of life a second chance - for those who have a passion for cooking, but never pursued it professionally for whatever reason, they now have the opportunity to win a huge cash prize and learn from the best in the industry - including chef Gordon Ramsay himself.
This is a truly incredible opportunity for anyone who loves food, and they had a lot of luck last year finding amazing contestants in Boston.

The Greenway Mobile Food Fest, which was planned for Saturday, October 15, has been postponed until the Spring. We will work with the participating vendors and collaborate with them on selecting a date for early 2012.
Saturday’s event was to include 12 mobile food vendors, many of them in large trucks. It was to take place on Dewey Square, the only parcel large enough to accommodate this type of gathering.
The decision is based on the fact the attendees we’re anticipating for the Greenway Mobile Food Fest, when combined with the Occupy Boston encampment on Dewey Square, would simply be too crowded to be considered safe for the public.
Yesterday, activists complied with the smooth load-in and load-out of the Boston Public Market, a successful farmer’s market on Dewey Square, but the scale of Saturday’s event is much, much bigger.
While this half acre of the Greenway is in full-time use by Occupy Boston, the remaining 15.5 acres of the Greenway remain open, beautiful and welcoming to all. We encourage visitors and residents alike to explore the Rings Fountain, the Carousel, the Harbor Islands Pavilion, and our water features and public art.
The final "sports monkey" is off Boston's back for the now eleven year old new Millennium. The Bruins had become the Red Sox of old: always in it, but never able to finish it and win it all. While their level of futility paled in comparison to the Sox, the similarities were definitely there.
Earthfest Boston takes place this Saturday Noon to 5 p.m. on the Esplanade, near the Hatch Memorial Shell in Boston.
What the heck does this have to do with hot dogs you ask? Well, a PR type from Foodminds dropped me an email to let me know the folks from Applegate Farms- a purveyor of antibiotic and hormone free meats- will be offering their hot dogs to the masses for free!
To quote the email:
Applegate, the nation’s leading producer of organic and natural meats and cheeses will give away thousands of organic hot dogs and show EarthFest festival goers why Applegate franks cut the mustard and how a cleaner planet can start with a cleaner wiener.
Attendees will relish free Applegate Great Organic Grass-Fed Beef Hot Dogs served hot off a grill that will travel on the Applegate bio-fuel bus. Visitors can learn about the differences between natural, organic and conventional meat.
Sound yummy to me, I am going to check it out.....
It would certainly make a good Hot Dog Story. Watch for details after the Earthfest.

Dot is Dorchester, Rozzie Roslindale, JP is Jamaica Plain. Readville doesn't exist.
THE NORTH-EAST-SOUTH-WEST THING:

The West End and Scollay Square are no more-a guy named Rappaport got rid of them one night.
The geographical center of Boston is in Roxbury. Due north of the center we find the South End. This is not to be confused with South Boston, which lies directly east from the South End. North of the South End is East Boston and southwest of East Boston is the North End. Backbay was filled in years ago.
BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN BOSTON
(subject to change at any time):
When on a one way street, stay to the right to allow oncoming traffic to pass.
Never, ever, stop for a pedestrian unless he flings himself under the wheels of your car.
The first parking space you see will be the last parking space you see. Grab it.
Double park in the North End of Boston, unless triple parking is available.
Learn to swerve abruptly. Boston is the home of slalom driving, thanks to the Registry of Motor Vehicles, which puts potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes.
Never get in the way of a car that needs extensive bodywork.
Always look both ways when running a red light.
Honk your horn the instant the light
changes.
Breakdown lanes are not for breaking down, but for speeding, especially during rush hour.
Breakdown lanes may also end without warning causing traffic jams as people merge back in.
Never use directional signals when changing lanes. They only warn other drivers to speed up and not let you in.
Making eye contact revokes your right of way.
Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right.
Whenever possible, stop in the middle of a crosswalk to ensure inconveniencing as many pedestrians as possible. And if a pedestrian ahead of you steps in the road, speed up loudly and chase him back up on the curb. Peds have no rights.
From CityofBoston.gov
The Red Sox just played their first spring training game. I could rant about spring training games, make witty commentary, provide insightful analysis on player performances etc. but these games don't count. Next to "irrelevent" in the dictionary are the words "spring training baseball games."
Proof of the irrelevence: a 4-4 10 inning tie. A tie in a baseball game. Wake me in April.
I am getting sick and tired of professional baseball players talking about "respect." We've heard the term used in free agent negotiations countless times, Pedro Martinez brought the term to new heights when he and his shoulder skipped town. Now another Red Sox ace is using the "R" word: Curt Schilling.
Curt we love you, but shut the bleep up. Curt will be earning a tad north of $13 million this year and is adored by fans for his heroics in 2004. And he complains about a lack of respect? I wish I had that kind of "no respect!" Whenever you negotiate and make ultimatums publicly you are going to create a charged atmosphere.
For those of you who don't know, Schilling let it be known on the Dennis and Callahan Show a few weeks ago that he didn't want to retire after all. When I first heard the words, I was excited-the guy is a gamer-unfortunately he also has a big mouth. He stated he wanted a deal done before Spring Training was done or else. In this case or else was filing for Free Agency after the season. When Theo conveyed ownership's desire to take a "wait and see" approach, Curt had a hissy fit and once again publicly painted the Red Sox into a corner, creating a maelstrom of commentary from Red Sox nation and many Boston scribes.
The media in this town in relation to the Red Sox is bad enough: the lot of them kowtow to the organization and feed Red Sox Nation with a load of "news" that makes some of these daytime soap operas look downright legitimate. The Boston Sports media, particularly when it comes to the Red Sox, has a self importance about them bordering on demagoguery. And Schilling fuels their flame. The media loves this guy because he likes to shoot his mouth off-which is precisely why the Red Sox want to take a wait and see approach.
Schilling came to camp fat and bitchy and lashing out at the Sox (and the media he has such a love/hate relationship with) about the lack of respect he was shown. If he wins 15-20 games on a team that contends for a World Series, the Big Schil will get his dough and his respect. He'll probably still be on the Red Sox too. As a fan, I'd like him to shut up and pitch and please stop whining about a lack of respect.
A regular came by today I hadn't seen in a while and we were talking about how the Red Sox are out spending the Yankees this year. The evil empire has always outspent every other team and it appears they're scaling back. Who can blame them after Kevin Brown, Carl Pavano and A-Rod. What has it gotten them? Well, they haven't won a World Series this millennium; maybe the Yanks are revisiting how to build a team.
I really believe the Yankees are due for an implosion this year. The Yankees are going to fall victim to their own excesses in 2007. With a string of failed free agent signings and a pitching staff that can't measure up to the Red Sox, they will be lucky to come in second place in 2007. Mariano Rivera is griping about his contract and it isn't even spring training yet, Joe Torre is showing signs of being frustrated, A-Rod is on TV saying the love is gone between him and Jeter and Andy Petit won't live up to his legacy. While the Yankees will have a powerful batting line up, they won't be able to close the deal as in years past.
I predict A-Rod will be dealt by the trading deadline, Joe Torre will be fired and Petit will be on the DL. Red Sox take the AL East by 4 or 5 games.
Back to my customer: He has a son-in-law who is a Yankee fan living in Vermont. Poor deluded man. He apparently gets a lot of grief from just about everyone in his life. I intend to pile on here! We started chatting about how we treat Yankee fans. Personally, I grew up with the "old" Red Sox: break yer heart every time. Yankee fans were a constant source of pain and harassment-their arrogance and superior attitude were exceeded only by the success of their team. Thank God that era is over and my children won't have to grow up with the same inferiority complex that plagued me through my fortieth year.
So I was telling this customer how I treat Yankee fans these days. Customers wearing Yankee apparel must pay a two dollar surcharge for their meals and be subject to any abuse I hurl their way while serving up their delicious dogs. A boy at my daughter's middle school actually trashed his Yankee hat in favor of a Red Sox hat because he got tired of me calling him out when I was picking her up from school; his dad thanked me at a school concert for doing what he had been unable to do! Then there was the kid who wore a Yankee hat to his first practice as a member of my Little League team-after he finished the 5 laps around the field I made him run, he swore he'd never wear the hat to practice again (he didn't). And there's the bag boy at the local market who always wears a Yankee hat-I asked to speak to the manager and the manager said we could take him out back and rough him up a bit. When I see someone wearing a Yankee hat at our beach, I tell them they need to remove it-"club rules." My customer's son in law was told by his boss not to wear his Yankee hat to work if he wanted to keep his job!
The collective consciousness of Red Sox Nation is getting its revenge for years of abuse and we're not shy about letting our feelings be known. I don't intend to let up on Yankee fans-at least not in this millennium.
Well all the plow guys are happy today. Yesterday and last night they all got their "white gold" and they've got money in their pockets. The guys who plowed my lot practically buried my truck, there was quite a bit of digging before the dogs could get cooking. Chalk that up to being a bit inconsiderate. The only thing that made me feel better about that was they buried one of their own cars! Chalk that up to being dumb.
Not much action today. Pitchers and catchers report tomorrow so the Red Sox will creep back into the collective consciousness next week.
Today's relatively warm weather brought the return of the Hamburger lover to the old Hot Dog Truck. My burgers are very tasty but they take about 7-8 minutes to cook. People don't want to wait that long when its 6 degrees out! I sold a dozen burgers today, which is a lot for even a sunny day. Hot Dogs and Sausages are the big items every day.
The Red Sox Equipment Truck left for spring training today. Thus begins the countdown to Opening Day-the day the picnic tables go out at the Hot Dog truck!
