Thought of another one...
Local favorite
Rutt's Hut in Clifton New Jersey won the top spot in The Daily Meal's "America's 75 Best Hot Dogs." (
full list)
Around here (north Jersey) Rutt's Hut is a classic. The place opened in 1928 and looks like you stepped back in time. The whole look is super old school. Their fried hot dogs (affectionally nicknamed "rippers" due to their ripped-open casings) and their delicious, unique relish are worth a visit if you're ever in the area. Another local tip that doesn't get the same level of press as the hot dogs and relish, is to also try their chili on your ripper. I usually get 2 rippers, one with relish, and one with chili. Add a beer and enjoy!
