Boston Speed Dog

It’s not the likeliest setting for what’s been called (by the Wall Street Journal, no less) the finest hot dog in the country: a dusty corner of an industrial food warehouse district in Roxbury. But aficionados swear it’s worth the trip to BOSTON SPEED DOG for a half-pound all-beef natural-casing Grote & Weigel dog, smoked and char-grilled, served on a sturdy grilled bun with house-made chili and condiments. The recent addition of a grilled pastrami sub is also noteworthy, but the dog is sui generis, something every self-styled food-lover in Boston must venture to try at least once.
