, until the time they close (3pm). I will have to admit I was a bit dubious because the most popular hot dog is served with mayo, celery salt and Flo's special relish that looks very strange and really rather unappetizing. Here's the deal - THEY ARE SERIOUSLY GOOD! I know most of you are scoffing, but just stop! I found several recipes for the relish online. One of them said to simmer it stirring CONSTANTLY for 8 hours! Now I don't know about you, but I have a life! I actually made the relish in my Instant Pot / pressure cooker. (20 minutes at HIGH pressure, then quick release). You can also just simmer it on the stove for a couple of hours, stirring occasionally during commercials. This sounds like I watch daytime TV, which I don't...
The true test was last night my friend from Maine tried them and said I NAILED it! You have no idea how happy this makes me. I can now open a West Coast branch!

Flo’s Hot Dog Relish
August 26, 2018
While recently in Maine, we were taken to Flo's Hot Dogs, which I was told was a must when in Maine. It's located on Rte. 1 in the seacoast area of Maine, in Cape Neddick. This little shack has been making Flo’s famous hot dogs since 1959. There is almost always a long line out the door from the time they open (11am), until the time they close (3pm). I will have to admit I was a bit dubious because the most popular hot dog is served with mayo, celery salt and Flo's special relish that looks very strange and really rather unappetizing. Here's the deal - THEY ARE SERIOUSLY GOOD! I know most of you are scoffing, but just stop! I found several recipes for the relish online. One of them said to simmer it stirring CONSTANTLY for 8 hours! Now I don't know about you, but I have a life! I actually made the relish in my Instant Pot / pressure cooker.
