New Jersey Style Dog from Johnnie's Dog House - $3.50

3401 Concord Pike, Wilmington, DE - (302)477-1440


I'm not familiar with the New Jersey style hot dog, so here's what wiki said about it:

"In the case of New Jersey's potato dog, diced and stewed potatoes are combined with brown mustard and served on spicy brand hot dog. A variant on this (particularly in the Trenton area) is also known as the "Italian hot dog", which features all of the above ingredients, with grilled onions and peppers, and served on a long, crusty roll. The most common brands of spicy hot dogs used are Sabrett's or Best's, both of which are NJ companies."

It appears that the one that Johnnie's is trying to imitate is the New Jersey Italian hot dog since this one is composed of grilled potatoes, peppers, and onions. Everything on this hot dog SEEMS like a good idea, but the end result is fairly bland. Perhaps Johnnie's isn't making it correctly or perhaps the actual Jersey dog is bland. Either way, I won't be ordering this particular dog again.



NOTE: I've been on vacation the past few days so I'll be backdating a few posts to make up for lost time.

*past few days, not "passed". you may delete this post after you've corrected it. Until then, this will remain here as a constant reminder for you that you're a fob.
