00:03 Take me out for some hot dogs.
00:09 All right.
00:13 You know, it's another place that's been recommended to me.
00:17 It's a fairly new place here in Passaic, New Jersey,
00:21 not too far from Clifton.
00:23 You know, Clifton might be kind of like the nexus
00:27 of the hot dog universe.
00:29 Here is cruise missile hot dogs and pinchos.
00:35 And, well, I hear they have a unique hot dog here.
00:39 They even have their own special cruise missile dog.
00:42 Well, I'm here to give out these hot dogs a try,
00:46 see if they're worthy of the tank,
00:47 see if they're going to launch into orbit,
00:52 or will they come crashing down to Earth?
00:55 Let's find out.

01:38 One hot dog plain.
01:42 In particular, I have some--
01:44 I have some red, I have dumens, all dumens,
01:47 and I have a snaparazzle.
01:48 I'll try a snaparazzle beef.
01:52 Beef, yes.
01:53 [SIZZLING]
01:56 [CHATTER]
01:58 It's your dumens with the chili.
02:00 That's a snaparazzle.
02:02 That's the beefy butcher.
02:03 Snaparazzle.
02:04 Enjoy.
02:05 Can you tell us about the history?
02:06 I know your dad had a cart in Hoboken, right?
02:10 So I had a cart back in the '90s, 1990, '91, '92.
02:14 '93, we had our first child, so my wife told me I'd be a real job.
02:17 So I went to the post office.
02:19 I hung out to the license.
02:21 I kept paying for it until my father retired.
02:23 He took it over.
02:25 I then joined the Seaport Police Department,
02:27 retired from there January 31st, and I opened up Christmas
02:30 Restaurant.
02:31 And that's the name they gave me at work.
02:32 So that's the name.
02:34 But I also searched pork visually,
02:36 and I realized it actually exists.
02:38 So it made perfect sense.
02:39 Thank you.
02:39 Thank you.
02:40 OK, enjoy.
02:41 All right.
02:43 This is the snaparazzle.
02:45 This is a specialized hot dog.
02:48 I mean, look at this hot dog.
02:51 Bundadog ratio.
02:54 I mean, it's off the charts.
02:57 I mean, now we'll see if the snaparazzle is razzle-dazzle.
03:02 [CHATTER]
03:05 It is high.
03:29 It is far.
03:31 It is gone.
03:33 It's gone.
03:34 Raise the apple.
03:36 This is a home run.
03:37 This guy, as we just talked to him,
03:44 retired from the police department.
03:47 He had previously had his own hot dog truck in Hoboken.
03:51 And now he's back in the hot dog game.
03:53 And well, he's winning.
03:59 Now this is the Duman's Raw Beef Chili Dog.
04:03 Let's see how this tastes.
04:04 They even have a cruisemaster dog, which has--
04:09 you name it on it.
04:09 It's got mustard.
04:10 It's got the jalapenos, onions.
04:16 We're going to leave that alone and just focus on the chili dog
04:18 and--
04:19 [CHATTER]
04:22 Good snap on this, too.
04:42 [CHATTER]
04:46 Very good jack-checked chili.
04:55 Nothing wasted.
04:57 Very good.
04:59 I'm going to give the chili dog a triple.
05:01 I tell you, for 30 years out of the game, he's back in the game.
05:08 And look at this.
05:09 This place has only been open a few months.
05:11 And it's lined up everywhere.
05:13 Everyone knows about this place.
05:14 This place is going places.
05:17 It's not a cruise missile.
05:19 It's a rocket ship, and it's going to the moon.
05:22 Nice.
05:23 Nice, thank you.
05:23 Appreciate it.
05:24 Eat it?
05:29 Look at this.
05:29 They have their own drinks, too.
05:31 This fruit punch is really good.
05:33 Very good.
05:35 It's grass-led.
05:39 8.4.
05:45 Good snap.
05:46 Good snap.
05:47 Very hot.
05:50 Fresh off the grill.
05:51 Dumen fryer, you know?
05:55 They can make any hot dog they want here.
06:02 I'm going to give the Dumen fryer--
06:06 it's not a home run.
06:09 It's another home run.
06:11 This place is fantastic.
06:14 This place is terrific, you know?
06:17 Absolutely great.
06:18 I saw you on the Instagram, too.
06:25 But yeah, this is a fantastic place.
06:27 Awesome.
06:28 I'm glad you enjoyed it.
06:29 Thanks.
06:29 Thank you for being here.
06:30 I tell you, this place has only been open a few months.
06:39 And they taste like they've been here for years.
06:44 This place is hopping.
06:47 This place is happening.
06:49 This is where hot dogs excel, you know?
06:55 Cruise missiles, they found the right formula.
06:59 And of course, if you know of other places like this,
07:03 leave a comment down below.
07:05 Because you never know where I'm going to show up.
07:07 So keep raw dogging.
07:10 And of course, you can even email me anyway.
07:12 Anywhere I could go.
07:14 Yes, I'm raw dogging here, there, and everywhere.
07:18 See you down the road.
07:19 Take me out for some hot dogs.
07:28 Get me one that's only plain.
07:31 No mustard or horseradish ketchup.
07:34 I'll know what the dog is really about.
07:37 And it's hoped that this is a good one.
07:42 Maybe a home run or a double.
07:44 But if it sucks, it will be a strike out.
07:47 And I'm worried of my taste buds.
