Best Provision Co

Stopped by to grab some hot dogs, a slab of bacon and pastrami.
There’s a retail counter when you walk in at the loading dock. The fellas that served me was friendly and efficient. Prices for everything are behind the counter, but of course, the slabs need to be weighed for the final price. Cash only.

I have been eating Best hot dogs for all of my life (I’m 65) and have always loved these dogs. I prefer to get them from the factory in Newark, NJ, as I can get various sizes, my favorite being the Don’s dog. But for general use I get the 8 to a pound. The reason I didn’t give this review 5 stars is becaus lately, the natual casing dogs have had a very tough casing. In some cases, almost impossible to chew. I plan on contacting the conpany to make them away of this issue. In all my years of eating these dogs, I have never experienced this problem before.

best hot dogs i ever had. i got the 8 to a pound. it’s 20 bucks even for 5 lbs. what a deal. these things will make you think differently about hot dogs… seriously.
brush butter on a hot dog bun and place down on the pan until golden brown. fry hot dog until desired doneness (i like em nice n burnt). add a squirt of your favorite mustard and you’ll have the best dog you’ve ever had. straight up.

I must agree with David. I’ve eaten my fair share of hot dogs over my 37+ years and I truly feel that Best dogs are superior. I was raised on the Don’s dog since I can first remember, first at the restaurant where it derives it’s name, and second from my father who has been bringing and grilling these dogs to our Giants game tailgate for over 30 years. The skin, flavor, size, texture are all perfect. In my search for the best hot dog, Best is simply that, the best.

Many Jersey suburbanites, particularly from the Livingston and Union areas will remember two restaurants which have closed their doors: Syd’s in Vauxhall, and Don’s in Livingston. While Don’s had superior onion rings, both places shared one particular item: the hot dogs.
Their dogs were longer than usual and were made with natural casings, not some plant-​based concoction. As a result, when these dogs are cooked, the casing seals in the juices (until they pop and split). So that’s one plus. The other is the spices. They’re not too salty and not too garlicky. The taste suited me just right and my family prefers these to all others.
After some research, I found that these dogs were, and still are, made by Best Provisions. The plant is at the corner of Avon and Jellif Avenues and there is a retail operation on the Jellif side of the building. You’ll have to climb up on the loading dock and then walk through the hanging plastic strip entry.
At the retail counter they sell their own Corned Beef, Pastrami, sausages, and standard dogs. You have to ask for the Sid’s dogs and they’ll get them from their walk-​in. They’re available cryo-​packed in two different quantities; I get the larger, 5-​lb pack, which will give you about 24 dogs. Reserve 6 for immediate eating and freeze the remainder until the jones hits hard.
The only plastic is wrapped around the dogs, so bring cash. BTW, they do sell sliced corned beef/​pastrami Saturday mornings, so you can try before you buy.
