When you read stories of couples working together, it's often within the same office or where one is assisting the other. Framingham, MA couple Diane and Ed Hyman run two roadside eateries, The Trolley Stop and Trolley Stop Jr. "We got married and we were just looking to do something together," says Ed. "It kind of came about by a fluke." The couple were dropping Diane's daughter off at a friend's when they spied the trolley trailer for sale. "We joked about it, then talked about it more seriously. We bought it a few weeks later." Ed works the Jr. store, while Diane attends the main Trolley Stop. The article from the Boston Globe doesn't go into detail on their marriage, but does talk a lot about the food deals. For example, a $2 trolley dog, plus for $1.25 more you can add chips, a drink and a chocolate chip cookie. A plain hot dog sound boring, how about a Snoop Dog with chili and cheddar cheese, or the Remdog adorned with sauerkraut. If visitors want something beyond a dog, they can get homemade soups, clam chowder, chili, sirloin angus hamburgers, mac and cheese. Morning patrons can also get coffee, cappuccinos, lattes, and chai tea. Do you have a favorite couple-run eatery near you? Maybe we should put together a list?
