Deep-Fried Hot Dog, Famous Chili & Jersey Jerk | Hot Rods Hot Dogs

Описание: We’re at Hot Rods Hot Dogs in Glen Gardner, New Jersey — a legendary roadside hot dog shop with roots back to 1968.

Today, Adria and her family are carrying on the tradition while adding new creations that make the menu bigger, bolder, and more exciting. Here’s what makes this visit special:

• Two very different hot dogs → the original broiled turkey dog (the one Hot Rods was built on) and the new deep-fried beef & pork dog 🌭
• Their famous Hot Rods chili, so popular they sell it jarred right inside the shop
• A local specialty topping called Jersey Jerk Relish — a spicy, tangy NJ-made relish that fans swear by
• A behind-the-scenes kitchen look, with Adria herself cooking and showing how it all comes together
• One of their newest creations: the Hot Rod Hamburger — stacked with cheese, bacon, and grilled onions cooked in Frank’s RedHot, with toppings on both the top and bottom of the burger 🍔

Beyond the food, Hot Rods has a racing car theme running through the whole place — photos, models, and even a jug on the counter that says “Dare to be a Kid — Take a Car” filled with free Matchbox cars for kids (or anyone young at heart). Inside seating includes a bar facing the window, while picnic tables with umbrellas make for a perfect outdoor meal on a nice day.
