Steamed food, especially steamed meat, doesn’t have the best reputation. Most of us associate steamed meat with bland, flavorless mush. However, there’s one spot in Massachusetts that has been wooing customers with steamed hot dogs for over 120 years. Here’s what you should know about Casey’s Diner.
Though the current structure “only” dates from 1922, the diner actually originated as a four-stool, horse-drawn lunch wagon that was parked on the Natick Common in 1890
