Jimmy Buff's contends it was the inventor of the Italian hot dog, also known as a Newark dog: an all-beef wiener deep-fried until its outside is taut enough to crunch. One of these dogs, or preferably two, if you order a double as most people do, are hoisted from the oil and nestled inside a half a round loaf of sturdy Italian bread along with fried potatoes and sauteed onions and peppers. An awesome meal!

"This meal-in-a-bun is a Newark original, and one of America's premier hot dogs. By the way, that's TWO hot dogs inside the sandwich."

"James Racioppi, whose family may have invented the Newark hot dog back in the 1930s"
