What a treat this visit was!! The owner has a real passion for hot dogs and has designed a menu which underlines that passion. Your first clue is that they offer every one of their hot dog styles with your choice of a steamed Sabrett's dog or a grilled Thumann's dog. The standard varieties all ring in between $2-$3. The specialty dogs (including the 2 pictured below) were only $4.50, which I thought was a pretty good deal.
I selected the grilled Thumann's for my Pretzel Dog (right). After adding a line of Sabrett's brown mustard this meal was a real treat! The delicious dog was no surprise but the soft, salty pretzel bun was an outstanding compliment. Only a tiny bit more difficult to handle than a normal bun, this selection was both filling and delicious.
On the left you'll see their Italian hot dog. They use a quarter pound Sabrett dog and serve it on a hollowed sub roll rather than the more traditional pizza dough. The onions and tri-color peppers were sauteed nicely and were mixed with cubed, fried potatoes(I typically prefer the sliced potatoes). Notwithstanding the deviation from Newark tradition, I must admit that this was one very tasty IHD!! I applaud their willingness to make their menu their own and was very pleased with my selections. This will definitely be a repeat stop!
*** UPDATE: Sadly, as of May 2018, Broadway Hot Dogs has closed its doors...
Do you prefer the pretzl roll over a normal roll?
ReplyDeleteI do prefer the pretzel roll, but as more of a "treat".. I couldn't eat 3-4 dogs all on pretzel rolls!
