If you like hot dogs here's a way to beat the recession. Enter the hot dog eating contest at the Big Kahuna in Chelmsford Nov. 1 and if you can stuff enough franks into your maw, you'll walk away $200 richer. Not bad, eh? The baddest dogs in town Bad Dawgs teams up w/ tiki party bar just in time to s-t-r-e-t-c-h your stomach for Thanksgiving. Bad Dawgs has opened a second location on Huntington Ave. @ Mass Ave recently. Looks like a pretty chill locale, w/ couches and other college-approved magnets. And speaking of this Northeastern/Symphony nexus, Betty's Noodle House is a great little find. On a recent Sunday our party of four enjoyed oddles of noodles in this kitchy spot. Create your own noodle plate w/ sauce, protein and toppings and oh!!, don't forget the fried onion rings. To live for. Incidently they mix a great pina colada here too. Strange, but good combo, believe me.
