George’s Coney Island – Worcester, Massachusetts
On the way home from Lynn, Massachusetts, where I visited the greatest mural ever, I made a pit stop in Worcester to “eat here and get gas,” as it were. After filling up my tank I filled up my belly with the works (hold the onions).
What is Coney Island’s secret? The between-wars ambiance of the building. The unapologetically splendiferous sign. The secret chili sauce. The American love affair with the hot dog. All may have had a part to play in the business’ success…
And a splendiferous sign, it is. The first time I ever saw it in a photograph online, I just knew one day I”d have to visit.
The hot dogs were tasty. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed them the whole 100+ mile back to the ferry. #heartburn
I enjoyed my trip to Coney Island and I forsee stopping in again. They’ve been servin’ up dogs since 1918, so I guess plenty of people feel the same.

What’s that brown goop? Some sort of chili sauce?
GOOP?! Richard, i don’t think i like the way you’re talkin’ about my hot dog.
Yea, it was some type of chili sauce. The whole shebang was rather tasty.
