There is a Dog
Nowhere near enough relish...
If I had to choose a final meal, one choice that would definitely make it onto my short list of possibilities would be a hot dog from Blackie’s in Cheshire, CT smothered in their outrageously delicious homemade hot pepper relish. Incredibly wise out-of-town folks have been pleading with Blackie’s to sell their relish separately for decades now, but the family that owns the establishment have pushed back heartily, going so far as to deny relish to an ex-Nutmegger who flew in from California to bring some back to his dying mother (he was inundated with jars of copycat relish after the story ran in a local paper).
Well, I’m not quite sure when the Heavens Opened Up, but my visiting not-so-little brother just returned from Connecticut with a best. birthday. present. ever. for me. If you’re a hot dog lover, trust me, it’s time to buy yourself a gift.
