Italian hot dog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Italian Hot Dog is a type of hot dog popular in Essex, Hudson, and Passaic counties in north-eastern New Jersey and the boardwalk of the New Jersey shore. Although there are a number of different ways to prepare one, the basic ingredients are a cooked hot dog and a combination of fried peppers (green or red), onions, and potatoes cooked in olive oil. The hot dog is then placed in pizza bread, and topped with the vegetables. Many New Jerseyans view the Italian Hot Dog as their state's answer to the Philly Cheesesteak and other such sandwiches. The Italian Hot Dog was most likely "invented" in Newark, New Jersey in the 1930's or 1940's
