A “Super Duper Weenie”!
We’re back in the Berkshires and it almost felt like spring on the drive up here. Paul and I take different routes depending on our mood, the traffic and where we might like to stop. One interesting stop along the way was introduced to us by Scott and Jory; it’s exit 24 off Route 95 when heading north. They found it after their curiosity was piqued by a rather large billboard along the side of the road advertising “Super Duper Weenie”! Now, some of you are probably shaking your heads wondering why this would be a place we would ever consider. However, if hotdogs are your thing, this is an easy-off, easy-on, eating experience. AND, it’s really quite good. The restaurant is nothing more then a shack with a screened in porch and some picnic tables. You place your order at the counter from a listing on the wall. Super-Duper Weenie was started by a guy who had a very popular pushcart in NYC and graduated to a shop. There is a wide variety of ‘dogs’ (the Super Duper is a foot long) with every imaginable topping. Freshness is the key, they make their own relish from homemade pickles and the buns are freshly baked! There are sides of onion rings, french-fries and old fashioned drinks like root beer, cream soda and homemade milk shakes. There are a few other things on the menu but basically, people come for the many varieties of ‘weenies’! Service is quick and friendly and if you’re like Scott and Jory, you can satisfy a late night craving by ordering something to go.

I went to Super Duper Weenie and Al's Hot Stand in Naugatuck on the same day (what a day that was!). I loved both places, but probably give the edge to Al's. The Hummel hot dogs there were cooked just right, and it was tough to beat the price!
