Chef Howard Stubbs - The Right Stuff!

UPDATE: Chef Howard has moved to the corner of Rt. 58 and Rt. 28 near RF Morse. He is alive and well and filling the air with great smells of hot dogs, ribs and other great foods! Map to new location.

A month ago or so Betty read an article about Chef Howard in the Standard-Times and his not-so-typical hot dog cart. As we headed out to see a movie she wanted to give it a try since he was conveniently located off Cranberry Highway on the way to the cinemas in Wareham. As we rolled up to the vacant lot we saw a white cargo van surrounded by a couple of barrel smokers, a hot dog cart and coolers....plus a man in a chef hat that was doing the work of three men. We soon discovered that this was more than just a roadside hot dog cart! You could order anything from an all-beef hot dog to a full rack of baby-back or Louisiana-style ribs. Both smokers were loaded with ribs and other goodies producing an aroma you could smell for miles around. As we were in line one gentleman in front of us was ordering a rack of ribs to pick up later in the day for dinner, but admitted that grabbing a sweet sausage dog to have for lunch was part of the plan....he seemed to be a regular customer. Since we were headed to a movie, we wanted to eat something simple and light so we decided on the two dog special. Two all-beef dogs, bag of chips and a can of soda...all for five bucks! Only fifteen minutes from Mattapoisett, we will be back to try his ribs and other delicacies. You'll also enjoy talking to the Chef.... inspirational and full of energy and enthusiasm. Lastly...one of the biggest testimonials was the constant line of cars pulling in and keeping the Chef busy. Plug 2396 Cranberry Highway (or Route 28) Wareham, MA into your GPS or click here.
