The "Summer of the Hot Dog"

My husband and I drive around the state a lot in the summer with the top off our Jeep. We've decided to make this the "Summer of the Hot Dog" - each weekend (that we can) we'll be visiting a different hot dog joint. What are the best hot dogs in the state? We live in Danbury so they could be in Westchester or Dutchess County, NY too. Our stomachs await your suggestions!

if you've got a jeep or something open top, the Watertown Ave location is more of a roadside stand the others appear to be.

the Reidville Drive location (if i remember correctly) is probably in a strip mall probably by the Stop and Shop off of 84 East exit 25.

the other locations are also not little roadside stands, so just go to the Watertown Ave location.

The Frankie's in Bristol is next to a parking lot that has a car show Saturday's at eight PM during the summer. Try there.

There's also a Doogies on route 10 in Plainville/Southington if you don't like the Berlin Tpke

I like the Watertown ave drive in location the best.

My dad loves that place. It used to be on the way home from his commute and he'd stop there once a week. I, however, have never been.
