Today is National Hot Dog Day, so grab yourself a wiener!
here in Norther Jersey, we have the Italian Hot dog, here is my cousin's description:
"the JERSEY ITALIAN HOT DOG..a statewide treat...a grilled or fried hot dog stuffed into a cut
round Pizza bread roll, filled with fried potatoes, peppers and onions."
and my comments:
A lot of places in Northern NJ deep fry the dogs. Never saw that anywhere else outside of corn dogs, and they really don't count. Steamed, boiled, grilled(flat top), electrocuted (Presto hot dogger), bbq'ed, cooked on those rolling steel bars, were the usual suspects. When I get an Italian hot dog, I like the half & half, they put an Italian sausage in too.
