Rutt's Hut

Rutt's Hut

Rutt's Hut is a restaurant in Clifton, New Jersey known for its style of deep-fried hot dogs. The process of frying causes the hot dog casings to crack and split, which has led to the nickname "rippers". The restaurant is also known for their mustard-based relish made with cabbage, onions and carrots.

The original roadside stand was opened in 1928 by Royal "Abe" Rutt and his wife, Anna. The family sold the restaurant to the current owner, Nicholas Karagiorgis, in 1975.Cite news|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=980DE7DE1239F937A15756C0A96E958260|publisher=The New York Times|author=Fran Schumer|date=May 24, 1998|title=Hot diggity!
