Here is the schedule for the finalist visits in our N.J.'s best hot dog joint showdown.
The 10 finalists have been named in our search for N.J.’s best hot dog joint, and we will visit all 10 this week with a crew of assistant judges.
Don’t forget you can vote for your favorite hot dog joint in our Readers’ Choice poll. The voting deadline is noon Sunday, Aug. 5.
I will pick the overall winner. On Tuesday, Aug. 7, we will walk, unannounced, through the door of the winning hot dog joint. You’ll be able to watch it live on NJ.com. Watch for details next week.
