Creators of New Jersey's Famous Italian Hot Dog

The hot dog has always been viewed as New York’s best friend. Yet, just beyond the Hudson River lies a hot dog haven for those who like their franks beyond the regimented toppings their neighbors to the east so dearly love. Jimmy Buff’s is an iconic Jersey joint that created the Italian hot dog--a fried frank topped with fried peppers, onions and potatoes inside an Italian pizza bread roll. As the first of its kind, Jimmy “Buff” Racioppi and his wife, Mary, took their card night creation and opened their own shop in 1932. To this day, this Jersey institution is still run by the Racioppi family. This Italian-American wonder may be a splurge for most, but for Northern New Jerseyans, it’s just lunch.
