You will not get your frankfurters cooked in soiled water right here. 

At D.W. Dawgs in East Stroudsburg, proprietor Jermaine Wiggins places them in a fryer as an alternative. 

“Deep frying retains them juicy. It’s no totally different than old-school boiling however it’s really faster and fewer waste,” he says. 

He named his brick-and-mortar D.W. after soiled water, a slang time period used to explain how scorching canines boiled in the identical water for a number of days (usually by pushcart distributors in New York and Philly) retain a sure taste. 

Yeah, it sounds gross, however it’s actually about style. 

“After awhile, there’s taste in water from all the recent canines sitting in water,” Wiggins stated. “People attempt to get that very same style at dwelling however cannot.”

Instead of standard buns, he makes use of a potato model — a crowd-pleaser for positive. 

“People get excited once they see the rolls. To me it is extra filling to make use of potato bread. It soaks up the juices higher.”

The verdict: My “dawg” got here topped with relish, onions and cheese. I added some mustard and ketchup and took a giant chunk. Yes, you possibly can undoubtedly style the distinction within the fry model versus grilled or boiled. It was flavorful, juicy and fairly filling. Somewhat messy with the toppings, however that is what napkins are for. 

For these with an urge for food strive the Italian Dawg (two beef scorching canines with onions, peppers and potatoes on a hoagie roll) for $6.90 or the Nacho Dawg for $4 (spicy mustard, chili, hand-crushed nachos, cheese and jalapeños). 

Other issues to strive: Mac and cheese bites, chopped cheese sandwich, cheesesteaks and rooster wings.

Super-Sized

Did you recognize it was throughout the Great Depression that cheap scorching canines turned a well-liked road meals?

Back then they value lower than a dime, however at Rudy’s Tavern, a low-key neighborhood bar, it is nonetheless very economical ($3.25 per canine.)

The secret: Rudy’s hyperlinks —dubbed the “Super” — are pre-wrapped in bacon (with cheese within the center) after which positioned in a microwave-sized oven/grill and cooked to perfection. 

It’s nothing fancy, however undoubtedly a favourite amongst locals and a decent-size snack should you’re into scorching canines and never weight-reduction plan. I say strive it.
