Charlie's has been serving Italian hot dogs to New Jerseyans in the traditional method for decades. They moved their main operation from Kenilworth to Union a few years back but their their focus on serving authentic IHDs has not changed. The single or double hot dog is nestled into a 1/2 round loaf of pizza bread, doused with mustard, covered with sauteed onions and peppers, then topped with thin, deep fried potato slices and ketchup.
Though there are many shops trying to serve Italians on sub rolls, and others that offer diced potatoes (or even french fries!!) there is definite value to be found in an authentic IHD. Charlie's is one of the best and will have my patronage for years to come!
