Super Duper Weenie

306 Black Rock Turnpike, Fairfield, CT - (203) 334-DOGS
Posted By Chris Johnson on 7/26/2006 9:05:00 PM
I concur with the commentary. The food at this restaurant actually tastes like something special. Most hotdogs taste salty. You maybe taste some mustard flavor, but there isn't a lot of complexity to the dish. The dogs at Super Duper taste as complex as a fine wine, and offer taste sensations that are usually confined to home cooked meals. It's obvious that the proprietors of this establishment care enough about the product to insist on quality ingredients, and careful preparation. I drive two hours from Massachusetts just to sample their cuisine. It's worth the drive.

What a Pair! Two New Englanders, topped with sauerkraut, bacon, mustard, sweet relish, and raw onion. The bacon is buried underneath the dogs, and the mustard is eclipsed by the sauerkraut and sweet relish.

Traditionalists miss the mobile truck that was Super Duper Weenie, but this new restaurant has all the charm and sass of the eatery-on-wheels ... and the same fantastic food.  Note picnic tables at the far left. Since this photo was taken, they have been covered by a roof.

Chef Gary was lamenting to us that local ordinances have virtually eliminated neon signs from the Fairfield landscape. His sign is legal because it is behind the window rather than in front of it.

A close view of the Chicagoan shows how the split dog is laid upon tomato slices and is, in turn, topped with condiments.

This is a single order of onion rings ($2.50). It's not a huge quantity, but each one is a multi-bite item to savor.
