Best hot-dog stand

Drive over to the Newmarket Square meat market in Roxbury around noon, and you'll see a swarm of big guys in '80s Lincolns pulling in and out from Mass Ave and the Expressway. The reason for all the excitement? Boston Speed's Famous Hot Dog Wagon. The stand's proprietor, Ezra "Speed" Anderson, grills some of the largest and tastiest hot dogs we've ever seen. The kosher franks are eight inches long and almost a fist thick. There's a tangy homemade relish to slather all over the dogs, too. You won't be hungry all day, and it will only set you back $5.
