I wonder what brand of hot dogs Rutt’s Hut uses? Going to Google that right now.....
"The wieners are now sourced from Thumans in Carlstadt, New Jersey. They are 60 percent beef, 35 percent pork and 5 percent cereal filling. They used to be from an independent butcher. [1] The wieners were apparently once deep-fried in beef tallow, but now apparently vegetable oil is used at 350 F / 176 C. [2]"
I used to go to Callahan’s in Ft. Lee (right next to another place—Hiram’s. Deep-fried hot dogs...Good stuff (don’t know what’s in them...don’t want to know...)
