Rutt's Hut in Clifton New Jersey is the home of the deep fried hot dog.
Rutt’s Hut in Clifton, New Jersey has been in business since 1928 and has been serving their deep-fried hot dogs called the Rippers for 81 years.
They are called Rippers because they aren’t removed from the oil until the skin breaks loose from the rest of the hot dog. Rippers that turn black are called Cremators.

The best option is to try the Rippers yourself to see if you agree with those praising the Rippers at the Travel Channel or agree with those who posted at Roadfood.com that it was the most disgusting place they had ever eaten at.

Sounds like something I’d like to try. I’ll get my human to make some for me.

Might be a good idea for your human to test it before eating it yourself. A dog can’t be too careful.
