People Love The Hot Dogs From This New Jersey Restaurant So Much, They’re Shipped All Over The Country

When I’m not in New Jersey, there are a few things I really miss. The first is my family, the second is food. I’ve eaten all across America and I’m never quite satisfied with the pizza, bagels, or baked goods and it’s nearly impossible to find pork roll. There’s a lot to love about the California coast but, where can you find a decent Italian hot dog? Well, I’ve got some great news for you!
