FRT Breaks World Speed Record at Speed’s

On the heels of an exceptional outing in August, Team FRT decided to welcome a new team member to its ranks by revisiting the famous Boston culinary landmark Boston Speeds Famous Hot Dog Wagon. 

The World Record Attempt

Ever in search of new challenges to tackle, the team decided to throw caution to the wind and attempt to break the current Boston Speeds record for the most hot dogs consumed in the shortest amount of time.

While other lesser purveyors of the popular tube steak offer 2 oz. and 3 oz. sized dogs, Boston Speeds is in a weight class all of its own. Speed’s serves 8 oz. of custom-made, locally-marinated meatiness, topped and surrounded by what we estimate to be at least another half-pound of fresh bun and delicious toppings. This makes consuming more than one of these giant puppies quite a feat. Prior to FRT’s visit, the world record at Speed’s was 3 “Loaded” dogs (with all the toppings) in 10 minutes flat. When we announced we were going to try and break the record, Chef Greg Gale just shook his head and smiled. 

What he didn’t know is that we had a secret weapon. A guy we like to call “The Champ”, who is an eating machine. After carefully planning his approach (and letting the steaming hot dogs cool a bit), The Champ launched a full-frontal assault on a 48” long row of Speed’s famous Fully Loaded dogs. Seven minutes and 32 seconds later, the record was completely shattered; The Champ had plowed through 3 whole dogs. Having broken the speed record, The Champ readied himself to consume a fourth. However, taking a brief breather turned out to be a mistake. Despite ample encouragement from his teammates, The Champ balked at tackling a fourth, instead throwing down the gauntlet and declaring “I’d like to see someone try to take down a fourth!”

Scaling New Heights

Never satisfied with a single triumph and relentlessly pursuing continuous improvement, the team also set out to best its own record in total consumption of the delicious Speed’s Hot Dog. 

Ever competitive, the team members also jockeyed for position amongst themselves, vying for a top spot behind The Champ in terms of their Height to Dog ratio. 

Needless to say, Team FRT always achieves what it sets out to do, and the results (shown below) are nothing short of staggering (and yes, the team did stagger away from the Speed’s stand in the end.)

The Results: A Second Record is Broken

With the previous team total hanging at a record 16 dogs and a respectable average of 1.3 dogs per person, Team FRT had its work cut out to surpass its own record.

Needless to say, bolstered by The Champ’s unprecedented performance, the team was up for the challenge.
