Rutt's Hut, located in Clifton, New Jersey, is renowned for its unique style of deep-fried hot dogs, known as "Rippers," which are cooked in a way that causes the casings to crack and split. Since its opening in 1928, this original roadside stand has gained fame for its delicious hot dogs and its secret blend of mustard and spice relish, which has become just as legendary.

Featured on popular television shows such as the PBS special A Hot Dog Program, various Food Network shows, and the Travel Channel's Deep-Fried Paradise, Rutt's Hut has become a must-visit destination for hot dog enthusiasts. It has also earned a spot in the esteemed book 1,000 Places to See in the USA and Canada Before You Die, solidifying its status as a true American culinary icon.
