For years, Bostonians had to travel to Worcester or the South Coast to enjoy the working-class bliss of the Coney Island dog. Woburn’s WuBurger and its new Inman Square sibling cook up an authentic Coney dog with primo ingredients: Pearl all-beef frank, Martin’s split-top potato bun, fine-grained beanless beef chili, white onions and yellow mustard—you can skip the superfluous Cheez Whiz. Richardson’s ice cream and quality fast-food burgers, fries and frappes complement the return of a proletarian classic.
