10th Annual New Jersey Hot Dog Tour

Last year, I took a road trip to New Jersey for the 9th Annual New Jersey Hot Dog Tour. This year, I'm attending the 10th Annual New Jersey Hot Dog Tour. 

On Saturday, September 21, 2013, a busload of hot dog lovers will embark on a tour of 7 hot dog joints that represent the different New Jersey style of hot dogs. The stops are:

Galloping Hill Inn 

Jimmy Buffs 

Marci's Dog House 

Munces Hot Dog Truck 

Rutts Hutt 

The Hot Grill 

Father and Son 

There will be news media, "hot dog celebrities," and probably a fair amount of indigestion; but it is sure to be a fun day!

I'll be chronicling the entire event for Hot Dog Stories, so stay tuned!

I made it back from the New Jersey Hot Dog Tour none the worse for wear and delighted to have met such a great group of true hot dog aficionados. I arrived at the first stop, Galloping Hill, an hour before the buses showed up- I was that pumped!

Once people started arriving, I circulated amongst the crowd, doing my Hot Dog Stories thing.

There were six stops on the tour, so I did NOT visit my 100th spot. Be on the lookout for a special, 100th Hot Dog Story in the near future. I am currently sorting through the several hours of video footage I shot and I'll be making a video that documents the entire experience.

The six stops were:

Galloping Hill

Marci's Doghouse

Uncle Petey's Weenies

Tommy's Italian Hot Dogs

Jerry's Frankfurters

Manny's Texas Weiners

I had so much fun, I am going to do my best to return next year for the 10th tour!

Ready for the New Jersey Hot Dog Tour

I have been looking forward to attending the 9th Annual New Jersey Hot Dog Tour since tour organizer John Fox invited me last spring, and the day is finally here!!

When I get on the bus today, I'll be bringing along my cameras and filming the tour for posterity on Hot Dog Stories. As an added bonus, somewhere in New Jersey, I will be making my 100th stop at a different hot dog joint!

Here's the first video of the weekend!

The New Jersey Hot Dog Tour!

Well, summer is almost over, but there are still hot dog joints to visit and more hot dogs to eat!

On September 22, 2012 I am taking the Hot Dog Stories show on the road to the 9th Annual New Jersey Hot Dog Tour! Each September, tour organizers John Fox and "Benzee" rent out a bus (this year there will be two) and drive around to different popular hot dog joints in Jersey. There are 9 or 10 stops along the way and some old school icons will be featured.

Here's a photo from the Hot Dog Nation Facebook Page of last year's big sign announcing the tour.

On a very cool note, somewhere in New Jersey, I will visit my 100th hot dog joint. I will be bringing some goodies for tour attendees and I hope to have something special for stop # 100.

Of course, the video cameras will be accompanying me. It should be a busload of hot doggin' fun.

Stay tuned for updates!

New Jersey Hot Dog Tour

I eat a hot dog a day in July to celebrate National Hot Dog Month, but there's a guy who does a New Jersey Hot Dog Tour in the fall. The 9th Annual tour is scheduled for Sat Sept 22nd , 2012. There are two motor coaches that take riders to seven stops. A preliminary set of stops for this fall's tour is Hot Dog Johnnys, Charlies Pool Room, Frankly My Dear, and Tobys Cup.

I hope to interview tour organizer John Fox at some point this week, and the Hotdogman will be hitting this tour for sure!
