With a new ZipCar membership and a will to turn my one day off into a mini getaway (rather than a day of errands and catch-up), I headed to roadfood.com in search of good lunch destinations within a few hours drive of the city. I’d had a recent craving for hot dogs, perhaps owing to several exchanges with Meg on the subject, including a video on the making of hotdogs, which we both recognized would turn most stomachs but had had the effect of making both of ours ache with longing, so I ran a search for “hot dog”. A preponderance of their hot dog recommendations were conveniently located in Connecticut, within the desired driving radius. When I came upon the seductively named Super Duper Weenie, I knew where I would be having lunch on Monday.
