Thumann's hot dogs
Thumann's hot dogs are natural casing dogs that really snap when you bite into them. The best place for these here in NJ is Hiram's (about 1/2 mile south of the George Washington Bridge) in Fort Lee, NJ. They deep fry the dogs until the skin splits open. This place has been around since the late 1920's -- my grandparents went there before they married in 1930! An order of "21" which translates as 2 dogs and 1 order of fries is just heaven. Some add sauerkraut, but I just add a little spicy gray mustard. Ah, it's making hungry as I'm typing this. Thumann's even broil up nicely at home in the toaster oven. Yum.............
