Blackie's Hot Dogs - A Cheshire Tradition for Generations! - Imagine a hot dog stand that your children love that their great grandparents used to frequent!  That's what you will find in Cheshire with Blackie's Hot Dog Stand!  And what is even more unique, this hot dog stand has always been in the same family since it opened in 1928!  Oh, and did I mention the relish?  Blackie's has the most incredible Hot Pepper Relish! That alone is worth the trip!

So the next time you find yourself in the area, unless it is Friday, be sure to stop by Blackie's Hot Dog Stand at 2200 Waterbury Road in Cheshire.  Why not on Fridays?  Blackie's is closed on Fridays all year round.

Reminds me of so many great, older, established, wonderful places back in Chicago.  I love that they're closed on Fridays - never heard of that before, but I'm sure they deserve at least one day off.

Hi Juli - The family owning Blackie's followed the Catholic faith, and years ago you were not allowed to eat meat on Fridays. The Catholic Church changed its policy, but Blackies has maintained the tradition.

What a great story!  I can just imaging "fish dogs" might have tasted great on Fridays!

What a kick! You comment on one of my blogs. My curiosity clicks on you and your blogs. I discover you are in Central Connecticut, an area where I grew up. And then, there is Blackie's! How good does it get for making connections, trading stories and bringing back memories. Acitive Rain rocks!
