According to Cheapism "Sampling some of the best foods America has to offer doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Across the nation, each state has delicacies you can enjoy for $10 or less."

It's a famous spot in Newark that is featured for us here in Jersey. Dickie Dee's is home to the most delicious "Italian Hot Dogs". What exactly defines a classic "Italian Hot Dog"? According to Wikipedia "The basic dish consists of a cooked (usually deep-fried) hot dog placed in an Italian roll or pizza bread, and topped with a combination of fried bell peppers, onions, and potatoes. The Italian Hot Dog is a New Jersey tradition similar to Philadelphia's cheesesteak or other regional sandwiches."

Cheapism says "Head to Dickie Dee’s, where you’ll find single dogs for $6. When outside of Newark, try Tommy’s Italian Sausage and Hot Dog to taste in-house sausages at a single for under $10, and try the famous potatoes in a cup, too."

I enjoy a good Italian Hot Dog, I love the peppers and onions with the potatoes on the hot dog, it's a "super" hot dog.
