I finally (finally!) got to Rutt’s Hut in Clifton, NJ, where they deep fry hot dogs to absolute perfection. I chose the “Cremator”, which stays in the frier the longest amount of time. The outside tastes like gorgeous, crispy bacon while the inside remains perfect. And the relish is beyond words. Luckily, my in-laws are in the process of relocating to northern Jersey, so these are going to become one of my new food groups until a doctor says otherwise.
This is yet another feather in the hat for the Garden State. Unfortunately, it is still canceled out by Bon Jovi.

And you didn’t come visit me (or Francis because, let’s face it, he’s the real appeal)?!
Well, Sir Bruce was waiting for me, and I wasn’t sure if Francis was up for doing a rendition of ‘Badlands’! I did think of you guys when passing all of the signs for Jersey City when heading into Clifton. Next time, for sure.
Haha
Please do — and while I may not partake, I know for a fact that Francis would
joinbeg you for Rutt’s Hut.Not a problem. Two ‘Rippers’, hold the relish.
It was an EPIC day………..especially when The Boss is in the house…..esp on his bday
