NJ's Rutt's Hutt Has Best Hot Dogs In US: Daily Meal
It is the second year in a row it snagged the No. 1 spot. Three NJ restaurants were named among the top 75 in the country by The Daily Meal.
PASSAIC COUNTY, NJ — The best hot dogs in the country are still in North Jersey, according to one well-known food website.
The Daily Meal named the famous "rippers" at Rutt's Hutt in Clifton the best hot dogs in the United States for a second consecutive year. The food and drink website released its list of the 75 best Hot Dogs for 2018 recently.
"Even if Rutt’s Hut, located in blue-collar Clifton, served their trademark Ripper — a pork-and-beef Thumann’s link that’s deep-fried in beef fat until it rips apart — out of the back of a minivan, it would still be the country’s most delicious hot dog," the Daily Meal stated. "Whether you order an "In-And-Outer" (just a quick dunk in the oil), a Ripper, a well-done "Weller," or the crunchy, porky, almost-overcooked "Cremator," make sure you get it "all the way:" Topped with mustard and a spicy, sweet, onion-and cabbage-based relish.
