The Spring 2012 issue of SUMOSkinny has a list of Boston eating challenges (page 5) reporting that the same woman holds the house hot dog record at all Spike’s Junkyard Dogs Boston locations. If that is accurate, Matt Stonie’s Spike’s record with 23 hot dogs set in late 2010 has been surpassed. A commenter on a 2009 livejournal entry encountered the record-holder at Spike’s during an attempt to surpass her mark, who said she would come in the next day to reclaim her record if it was broken.
