Super Duper Weenie - Fairfield, CT

As you might suspect from its name, the house specialty is a hot dog. It is a firm-fleshed, locally-made weenie that is split and cooked on the grill until its outside gets a little crusty but the inside stays succulent. Whatever else you get, you must get French fries. These are beautiful, fresh cut twigs of potato.

"As good as a hot dog can get! I visit my hometown (Fairfield) every summer and I've made it a point to come to Super Duper Weenie, starting seven years or so ago, when the place was still on wheels. Although the prices are a little high for hot dogs, who can blame ..." [Read More].

"Ever know a place that's popular and you can't for the life of you figure out why? That's Super Duper Weenie. I have been there three times to give it the benefit of the doubt, just in case my first time was an off-day. Nope. Still bad every time. The dogs are ..." [Read More].

"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 ..." [Read More].

"While I agree with the overall opinion that Super Duper makes a good dog, I believe that there are better dogs to be had. I've had the Dixie dog, New Englander, and New York dog. The dogs are tasty and have a nice snap. The combinations are interesting. I was not ..." [Read More].

"Hot Dog Heaven I've been trying the hot dogs of the area based on Roadfood's recommendation and most have been pretty good. But now that I have found Super Duper Weenie my quest has ended. I had a Chicago Dog here that puts every other attempt at a Chicago Dog to ..." [Read More].

"My husband and I had the misfortune to move to Bridgeport, CT in 2001. I say that it's a misfortune not because we dislike Bridgeport - we love it. I only say that because we've developed an addiction to the tempting doggies served at Super Duper Weenie (or, as we call ..." [Read More].

"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."
Michael Stern

"Three sizes of French fries are available. This is a "small" boat. Fries are an essential part of the Super Duper Weenie dining experience."
Michael Stern

"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."
Michael Stern

"Locally-made Miller's-brand franks are split and grilled, ready to be bunned."
Michael Stern

"One of the great things to eat other than a hot dog: the Mighty-Ity. Short for "Mighty Italian," it is sweet or hot sausage with grilled peppers and onions and cheese on a Portuguese roll."
Michael Stern

"Super Duper Weenie recently added the capabability to make milk shakes. This chocolate shake is thick enough to support a straw. Strawberry shakes are made directly from pureed strawberries."
Michael Stern

"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."
Michael Stern

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

"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."
Michael Stern

"The Monroe branch of Super Duper Weenie was especially convenient for me, being just minutes from my barn and therefore making it an ideal stop for a "hunt breakfast." I shall miss it!"
