A real good hot dog is worth traveling for, but it's got to be really real good. Here are 10 hot dogs worth hopping in the car and road-tripping for in New England.

Doogies in Newington, CT

Home of the TWO-FOOTER hot dog. Bring Tums.

Simco's in Mattapan (Boston, MA)

IYKYK...

Johnny Ad's in Old Saybrook, CT

Since 1957 - so much history.

Flo's Hot Dogs - Cape Neddick, ME

It's all about the steamed dogs here... and the homemade relish.

Nick's Hot Dogs - Fall River, MA

Grab a coffee milk while you're at it!

Daddy's Beach Club - Hull, MA

Nothing like grabbing a dog from their grab n' go window then taking in the views of Nantasket beach right across the street.

Super Duper Weenie - Fairfield, CT

All condiments are made on premises including hot relish, sweet relish, Texas style and Cincinnati style chili - and don't pass on those fresh cut fries!

Wein-O-Rama - Cranston, RI

Check out "the works" - mustard, spicy meat sauce, onions, and celery salt on a steamed bun.

Simone's Hot Dog Stand - Lewiston, ME

Home of the "red snapper" hot dog. (No worries, they're not made of fish.)

Gilley's PM Lunch - Portsmouth, NH

Choose between plain, chili, kraut, chili-cheese, or “loaded."

Al's French Fries - Burlington, VT

All about the flattop grill and buttered, grilled buns! (And obviously they have killer fries too!)
