Opening in November 2017, the owners grew up in Buffalo, NY and wanted to bring some of their favorite foods to NJ. They serve Zweigle's franks (only shop in NJ that I know of) in 3 varieties. Red pop-open dogs are beef/pork blend and come in either 6 in. or 12 in. lengths. Interestingly, the smaller dog (not that small, weighing in at 6/1) has a spicier flavor due to a small difference in the recipe. They also serve white pop-opens which are a veal/pork/beef blend that retain the white color since they are neither smoked nor cured.
Once you've selected your meat, you have a choice of 4 different sauces, each of which were inspired by one of the Buffalo area hot dog restaurants. They offer a cumin-based meat sauce that was inspired by Nick Tohue, a spicy meat sauce similar to what you'll find at Coach Tony's, a sweet red sauce like the one at Reid's and a spicy red sauce inspired by Ted's. With so many combinations to choose from (and I personally enjoyed every one that I tried) you'll have to make several visits to try them all!! Thanks to Mike Maggio for such a great idea!
*** Update - Little Buffalo has closed permanently, possibly due to the 2020 COVID Pandemic
