J&G Texas Weiners, Dunellen

     J&G is one of the more popular locations for New Jersey's own Texas Weiners.  The staff was friendly but they were all business.  I watched a well-oiled machine serve up (2) "all the way" with considerable efficiency.  These piping hot dogs had a great snap and the proportions of all ingredients were just right!  Their Plainfield style chili had a nice amount of spice with just a little heat.  It's easy to see why J&G has developed such a strong, devoted clientele.

Max' Famous, Long Branch

     Pictured above is the establishment that agreed to host Hot Dog Nation during their 14th Annual Hot Dog Tour.  But this building was closed....  We were served from the truck pictured below.  This did not come as a surprise to many who had visited this venue in the past, sharing reports of rude staff that deliver sub-par service.

     Max's serves a Schickhaus 4:1 NC pork/beef dog that was very well received by those that decided to wait on line at the truck.  They serve a substantial size frank on an ample fresh roll, tailored to your liking.  As for me, I was reluctant to participate upon seeing the sign hanging from the building, pictured below, right.  We visited Max's the day before the entire contents of the building was to be auctioned off.  They will be undergoing renovations and will re-open Summer 2018.
