[New England Hot Dog - Route 9 Freehold, NJ]

I hope that you wll prepare the Boars Head natural casing dog on a real grill; it makes a big difference. The roller grill, which I am not fond of, is made for skinless dogs anyway. Do you still serve the natural casing Sabrett? One of the few beef dogs, along with Best (Newark not Chicago), Usinger's, and one or two others that is in the same league as Boars Head.

I have been meaning to to get to Freehold as I have not yet sampled a Maple Leaf brand frank. For a beef and pork dog, none is better than a natural casing Thumann's on the grill. Sahlen's from Buffalo and the franks from Kocher's in Ridgefield Park are also exceptional. It would be nice to see one of them offered as they are hard to come by. Many places in North Jersey use the milder Thumann's made for deep frying, but only 2 places I know of use the griller and they don't spend enough time on the grill at either place.

Do you have a listing of the dogs (brand) offered?

John - Are goal was to solicit a majority opinion of the best natural casing hot dog and Boar's Head registered a 88% tally for the best. For now, we are going to make this our natural casing offer since we have so many other types, sizes of hot dogs. The grill debate rages on - we get supporters of the roller, we get those that only want it boiled or fried and some insist on putting it on our griddle. To be honest, many people just dont have a strong opinion either way. I am going to look into the Sahlen's - never had one and always looking for a better dog! thanks

I am one of the owners of New England Hot Dog, in Freehold NJ. I just wanted to respond to a couple of small things. We appreciate the great feedback, which recently influenced a judging contest for our natural casing hot dog. It was narrowed down to 3 natural casing dogs and this past weekend the judges all agreed that the Boar's Head natural casing hot dog was the best - and it will be our main natural casing dog at our place moving forward. One small note - we do offer our dogs fried, just ask. On our next printing of our menu, we will be listing that as an option.
