Tyler from BOSE had a mission: to break the Hot Dog Truck's standing record of seven chili dogs in one sitting! While this title is not as prestigious as the Nathan's Contest (yet), holding this record is the mark of a true food champion.
Last week he managed to eat six chili dogs in a self proclaimed "training session." He came by yesterday with a determined attitude and an iron stomach.
Here's Tyler with his first three chili dogs. Note the cheery disposition exhibited in his facial expression.
Midway through his fifth chili dog, it appears the task is wearing on him.
Tyler is contemplating the seventh and eighth chili dogs: one will tie the record, the other will make him a Hot Dog Truck immortal!
Just one chili dog between Tyler and GLORY!
THE NEW CHAMPION stands with his completed trays, a testimony to his will and his appetite. Two things come to mind, one is TUMS. The other is GET A HAIRCUT DUDE!
ALL HAIL THE HOT DOG TRUCK CHILI DOG KING!
New Chili Dog Record!
High Times at The Hot Dog Truck
Today was a gorgeous day, 70 degrees and the hot dog lovers are coming out of the woodwork!
This lovely Red Sox fan was havin' a good day!
Here's another happy Sox fan with "Red Sox" spelled in Japanese on his shirt. (Further translation found the shirt to say "My mother dresses me funny"). This guy's buddy is a former Hot Dog Man from Worcester. I guess that makes me "the Hot Dog Man's Hot Dog Man!"
Fred from Coldwell Banker is a hard core, year 'round regular. Here he is enjoying his standard "two all around brown" dogs. Fred owes me about $320.00 for STRAWS! (Straws are 8 bucks at the Hot Dog Truck and he never pays). Fred is going to be PO'd when he sees this picture!
Here's Fred's lunch: YUMMY!
The good weather means the folks at BOSE finally crawl out of their cubes and come on down for hot dogs. BOSE World HQ is right around the corner from my truck. When the picnic tables are out, they conduct meetings there! This guy bravely takes a bite out of a chili dog for the camera. I must say people look pretty goofy eating hot dogs!
These two guys (also from BOSE) are regulars but they tend not to venture out on the REALLY COLD days. The guy on the right gets two RED and WHITE dogs (Ketchup and Mayo). There really is no good explanation why someone would put ketchup and mayo on a hot dog-there must be some trauma in his childhood manifesting itself by ruining good hot dogs with KETCHUP!
The guy on the left switches it up a lot-sometimes going for a burger, sometimes dogs. Today he got two BLONDS (Chili, Onion and Mustard). This hot dog name is courtesy of a gal from LA who suggested that name here (she's sooo naughty!) Many people who work at BOSE are also musicians and guy on the left is too. He's in a Grateful Dead
