On the cover

Hot dogs can be as complicated or as simple as you’d like — grilled or steamed, mustard or plain, vegan or beef, celery salt or mayo. John Fladd takes a look at the ways some hot dog purveyors serve up this classic summer dish. Photo above and on the cover is of hot dogs at Puppy Love in Concord. Photo by John Fladd.

Also on the cover, Good times are scheduled this weekend in Nashua where you’ll find the Nashua Summer Stroll on Saturday (see page 16) and the Parking Lot Pop Up Unplugged Live Music & Art Fair on Sunday (see page 12). Find some spicy fun at the New England Hot Sauce Fest (see page 16). Or chill with the music of the 1980s with Toto, Christopher Cross and Men at Work, playing Monday, July 28, at the Bank NH Pavilion in Gilford (page 22).
