00:00Take me out for some hot dogs.

00:05All right.

00:07You know, the 1939 World's Fair.

00:10History has made it to the 1939 World's Fair.

00:13Located not too far from where Citi Field is today.

00:18They had a World's Fair in 1939.

00:20Where television was introduced.

00:24And also, a new concept in diners.

00:28And they called it the White Manor.

00:31With porthole windows and white counters and white brick.

00:38It tried to present itself as cleanliness.

00:42Well, the White Manor diner that was at that World's Fair.

00:46Was taken brick by brick to Jersey City in 1946.

00:51And it's been here.

00:52Right on the corner of Route 109, Tonally Avenue.

00:56Ever since.

00:58And what they did is they sold off these diners to many, many places.

01:05Including Hackensack, where they claim to be the original.

01:08But this is the true original.

01:10Here in Jersey City, they're known for the hamburgers.

01:14But they also have hot dogs.

01:16And we're going to give them a try.

01:19As we go road-dogging.

01:22The White Manor.

01:24The White Manor.

01:26The White Manor.

01:41The White Manor.

01:45All right, now, the difference between this white manna, the original, and the one at

02:01Hackensack is, this is the only one that has hot dogs.

02:05So we're going to look at the hot dog.

02:08It's got a nice little grill bar.

02:10It's got nice coloring, but underdog ratio is actually very good.

02:14Well, let's actually see how it tastes.

02:39I'm going to give the hot dog a gluten double.

02:46I'm glad they really had to run for this double.

02:50But they're known for their hamburgers.

02:52That's where the real test is going to be.

02:54And today, I'm actually going to review one of their burgers.

02:57All right, well, here's their cheeseburger.

03:04And, well, they're small burgers.

03:08Not quite the White Castle-style sliders, but they use high-quality Patla Frieda.

03:15And that's what they're known for.

03:16They're known for the burgers.

03:17This is a burger joint.

03:18And they were serving burgers at the World Trade in 1939.

03:21And who knows, it might have been Patla Frieda's back then, too.

03:24But let's see how this burger tastes, and they really smash it down.

03:28That's a nice, juicy burger.

03:38Look at that.

03:42Quality burger.

03:45In keeping with the baseball team, I'm going to give their burger a triple, or score at

03:52the part tense, an 8.4.

03:57Frank, was that your first burger review?

03:59No, I've done a couple of those.

04:00I've done a couple of those.

04:01I've done a couple of those.

04:02And their fries.

04:03Coloring could be a little bit better on their fries.

04:12Yeah.

04:13Fries.

04:14Take a word.

04:15These fries need to work.

04:16I'm going to give them a 6.2.

04:17All right.

04:18You know, this place is timeless.

04:19If you're looking for a hot dog, I'm going to give them a 6.2.

04:24All right.

04:25You know, this place is timeless.

04:29If you're looking for a hot dog, I wouldn't recommend this place.

04:36Do you mind?

04:41I wouldn't go here for hot dogs.

04:43But their burgers are absolutely outstanding and terrific.

04:46And that's what they're known for.

04:48It's classic.

04:49It's timeless.

04:50And you know, it's unique.

04:52And that's why White Man has been around for well over 80 years.

04:57So, if you know any other places you should go that's timeless like this, let me know.

05:03Email me.

05:04DM me.

05:05Text me.

05:06Let me know where I should go next.

05:08You just never know of your show.

05:10Keep raw doggy and I'll see you down the road.

05:20Take me out for some hot dogs.

05:23Get me one that's only plain.

05:26No mustard or ketchup.

05:29I'll know what the dog is really about.

05:33And it's hope that this is a good one.

05:37Maybe a home one or a double.

05:40But if it sucks, it will be a strikeout and not worthy of my taste buds.

05:46I'll see you next time.

05:47I'll see you next time.

05:48Bye.
