Ripper (hot dog)

Ripper (hot dog)

Ripper is the slang term for a type of hot dog that is popular in New Jersey. The hot dog is deep fried in oil until the casing bursts, or "rips." [Schumer, Fran. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=980DE7DE1239F937A15756C0A96E958260 " HOT DIGGITY! DOG DIGGITY! -- RESTAURANTS; Two Rippers, P.C., With Relish Mother Made"] , "New York Times", Published: May 24, 1998. Accessed October 3 2007.]

"Rippers" were featured in the Travel Channel special "Hot Dog Heavens" and served as a major plot point in a first season episode of the internet serial "Ripster's" which centers on the Pennsylvania tavern of the same name that serves a similar type of hot dog.
