Apple's Deli has a long, interesting history (although it only opened in 2016!) The owner, Matthew Applebaum, bought the old Evergreen Deli in Springfield after serving as chef at several North Jersey restaurants. One of these was Amazing Hot Dog in Verona, now long gone. This was an opportunity for Matt to serve what he loves under his own banner.
The big hit at Apple's Deli has got to be the Syd's dog. Originally served as Syd's in Newark (also long gone) this is a Best natural casing 5:1 all beef dog that is only available at the Best Provisions store, also in Newark. It is first boiled and then given some char on the grill. Below is a shot of mine with brown mustard. Absolutely fantastic!
The pic at the bottom of this post was taken during the 15th Annual NJ Hot Dog Tour where Apple's hosted an outdoor cookout for the participants. It was a great day for an outdoor venue and everyone enjoyed their wonderful hospitality!
