Chris' Red Hots

Chris' Red Hots* Having slept thru most of the day, I woke up with a strange hankering—for nitrates! With the best in town not actually existing anymore, (Petridis' Bayonne) a friend and I took a drive to Branch Brook Park in Newark. This is the only place that long compares to the former; now shuttered, once greatest. Simple as they are, so prepared; just like anywhere else, there's nothing on it's face that could possibly differentiate Chris' Red Hots from any other place—except everything! The red hot onions, affability of it's owner and quick preparation by his workers is what brings me 17 miles north at least once a month. It's good they're not closer, because I gotta keep the nitrates to a minimum nowadays. *Get there early... Hours are tight. Wheelchair accessibility: It's outside, so it's easily accessible.

Best non traditional hotdog ever. I’ve eaten many hotdogs in my day and none stand out quite like this place. Potatoes and hot onions? What the heck? Do not question it. These unusual items are insanely good. I don’t know why more places don’t offer this. I will be driving the 3hrs from upstate NY for these dogs again. These are simply perfection!

The hype is REAL! Amazing dogs and amazing service! I saw this on my instagram and had to check it out. QUALITY dogs too, the heat seeker has got a kick to it! Can’t wait to come back soon.
