00:02 Happy Halloween!
00:05 It's time to go raw, dog.
00:08 Halloween edition.
00:10 (laughing)
00:12 (evil laughing)
00:15 ♪ He's just a poor boy from a poor family ♪
00:21 ♪ Sparing his life from his monstrosity ♪
00:25 Yes, that's right.
00:28 It's Halloween and it's time to go raw, doggy.
00:31 You know, one of the first places I reviewed,
00:35 great stats, by the way,
00:41 one of the first places I reviewed
00:43 when I started this four years ago was Chris's,
00:47 which is very close to where I live.
00:50 Chris's Red Hots, it's right near the border
00:52 of Belleville and Newark at the entrance
00:55 to Branchbrook Park.
00:57 They still have their truck there,
00:59 but now they have a brick and mortar in Verona, New Jersey.
01:03 And, well, we're gonna give it a try.
01:07 One regret I had, when I reviewed them the first time,
01:10 I was just doing raw dogs.
01:12 Never tried any of their specialty dogs.
01:15 Well, this time, I'm going all in
01:17 as I go raw, doggy at Chris's.
01:20 Brick and mortar edition, Verona, New Jersey.
01:24 Darcy, what's going on?
01:26 - Hey. - How you doing?
01:28 - All right, first time here?
01:30 - Well, I'm used to the truck,
01:31 I just knew they were doing something.
01:33 - Oh, yeah, like a month, right?
01:34 - Yeah. - Cool, have a good trip.
01:36 - All right, thanks.
01:38 (gentle music)
01:40 - A disco dog?
01:55 (laughing)
01:57 - What's up, man?
02:00 - Hey, how's it going?
02:01 - Good, I can't unsee that.
02:03 (laughing)
02:05 How you doing? - How's it going?
02:06 - All right, it's Frank, right?
02:07 - Yes. - All right.
02:09 It's you, me, your way over here.
02:11 - Yeah, well, I reviewed your truck.
02:13 It wasn't actually the first place I reviewed.
02:14 - Yeah, I remember that.
02:15 - Very long time ago now, four years.
02:18 And, well, I'm gonna go with a plain hot dog,
02:22 keeping with that tradition.
02:24 I'll go with a chili cheese.
02:27 - You wanna do the cowboy chili,
02:29 that one's spicy with peppers on it,
02:31 and beans, or a tomatoe chili?
02:33 - Power chili.
02:34 - Cheese? - Yes.
02:35 - And I'm gonna go with the disco dog.
02:39 (gentle music)
02:53 Who knows what goes bop in the night?
02:56 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:58 Oh, it's gonna be a great old Halloween night, you know?
03:01 I don't know if it's the trick,
03:05 but it's a nice treat for a nice hot dog.
03:07 The bun feels good, the dog has good coloring,
03:11 the dirty water dog just like the truck.
03:14 (thunder booms)
03:17 Oh, let's see how this hot dog rates.
03:21 (traffic hums)
03:24 A solid, solid double.
03:38 (truck engine rumbles)
03:41 (sighs)
03:49 (truck engine rumbles)
03:52 What?
03:56 Jinkies, where'd I put my glasses?
04:07 Can't find my glasses.
04:09 Here they are.
04:10 (pants)
04:13 All right, this bee, get, this,
04:16 bee, get out of here, bee, get, go, fuck!
04:19 Well, Edgar Allen doesn't like chili dogs,
04:24 and my regret when I reviewed it the first time in a truck
04:28 was I wasn't doing chili dogs yet.
04:30 So let's see how their chili dog is.
04:32 This is the mild chili, there's no beans in it.
04:35 It's chili and cheese, and it's here to please.
04:47 Nice, solid chili.
04:48 Good, and these dogs have good snaps.
04:51 You know, this is what a dirty water hot dog truck should taste.
04:57 It's not something special or spectacular,
05:00 but it's good, it's very good.
05:02 I'm gonna give this another double.
05:04 Of course, we got some boiling soda here.
05:09 (bell dings)
05:15 Boiling black cherry, I don't know if I reviewed this yet,
05:18 but boiling makes good product.
05:19 Maybe one day I'll review all of them.
05:21 I wanna review all of them.
05:22 If I have reviewed this, I'll do a bonus review right here.
05:25 Very good black cherry, 8.2.
05:33 And now a bonus review.
05:36 Whoa, it's a disco dog.
05:41 Disco, disco dog.
05:45 Yes, that's right, disco, disco dog.
05:49 You know, in New Jersey,
05:53 we have something called disco fries,
05:55 which I don't know if they're around anywhere else.
05:58 It's usually French fries covered in gravy.
06:02 Gravy!
06:03 Gravy!
06:06 With mozzarella cheese.
06:09 It's basically Canada's poutine.
06:13 Instead of using cheese curds, we use mozzarella.
06:16 Well, they don't have French fries,
06:19 they have potato sticks.
06:20 They still have the gravy!
06:23 Gravy!
06:26 Well, let's see how this tastes.
06:30 I wouldn't recommend this.
06:40 (crashing)
06:42 Mike Vec, we'll blow this dog up.
06:51 In honor of Mike Vec, hee-hee!
06:54 Yeah, this should have been disposed of
06:59 at Disco Demolition Night.
07:08 Chris has got good hot dogs, very good hot dogs.
07:10 Of course, I look very close to where the truck is,
07:14 and the truck and the brick and mortar
07:18 both are the same quality.
07:20 Good hot dogs, decent hot,
07:24 I mean, these are the hot dogs you want, that you expect.
07:26 I mean, this is what a hot dog should taste like.
07:29 Chili was decent.
07:30 The disco dog, though, which is a special dog,
07:33 I'm not sure if that's a keeper for them,
07:36 but they do, many special dogs here and there.
07:39 They experiment, that's what a hot dog place should do.
07:43 Don't be afraid to strike out, you never know.
07:45 Because when you experiment, you might find something great.
07:50 But they have, overall, I would recommend this place,
07:52 this place is good,
07:53 and they've got a good social media following.
07:56 So follow Chris's Red Hots on,
07:59 especially on Instagram.
08:02 He's a good Instagram follower.
08:04 And he has good, and he does some good TikToks, too.
08:08 So follow Chris's.
