Hotdogman meets Hamburgerman

As you surely must know if you are reading this, I am the Hotdogman. One of the privileges that comes with that title is I get to go eat hot dogs at various establishments and write about it- or shoot video. It's a fun job.

There's a guy here in the Boston area who has a similar gig, the only difference is, he blogs about another All American delicacy: the Hamburger. Richard from The Boston Burger Blog is someone I have been following for a while, and I decided to reach out to him and invite him out to one of my favorite spots for a hamburger, Casey's Diner.


Yes, Casey's. While Casey's is renowned for its hot dogs, they make a damn fine hamburger too. They are consistently ranked in the top burger joints in the area, and with good reason; the burgers are out of bounds delish. Richard has never been to Casey's, so next Wednesday, March 14, we are going to check out some Casey's burgers together. Drew from the Benspark blog will be tagging along. He's practicing for the National Hot Dog Month 2012 tour, he's going to be my side kick and camera man. 

 It is sure to be a fun and delicious visit. 

Stay tuned....

Tex Barry's Coney Island Diner in Attleboro, MA

I took Little Miss to the zoo of all places on the coldest day of the winter-so far. We needed some lunch and found ourselves not too far from a rather iconic little hot dog diner: Tex Barry's Coney Island Diner, located at 31 County Street in Attleboro, Massachusetts. They're open Monday through Friday 10:00 am to 8:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.



The actual diner is an old Worcester Dining Car Diner. It's history is featured in the book Classic Diners of Massachusetts.


They even have a Facebook page.


Tex Barry's is owned by Arthur Bombardier. He took the joint over from his mother back in 1985- she bought it from one of the original franchisees back in 1979. Tex Barry's was once a burgeoning hot dog franchise in the Southeastern Massachusetts area, but only two remain- the one in Attleboro and another in Taunton, MA.


Tex Barry's has- like any "real" Coney Island Joint- it's own secret recipe for their sauce. Like any self respecting Coney Island Dog man, he wasn't sharing the recipe. Arthur serves em up with the works: a grilled Kayem frank with Coney sauce, onions and mustard on a steamed roll. Old school, authentic, iconic, and DELICIOUS.

I ordered up one with the works (I eventually downed three)...


...and some fries.


Little Miss got her standard half plain/half mustard.
