"America's Best Hot Dogs: Crif Dogs - Childhood pals Brian Shebairo and Chris Antista differentiate themselves in the city’s crowded hot dog market by deep-frying their franks to a crisp snap before serving them in a choice of more than a dozen mad scientist combinations that include a bacon wrap and toppings such as avocado, cream cheese and a fried egg."

"No offering sums up their “kitchen sink” approach to the hot dog better than the Good Morning, which transforms a hot dog into one of the great breakfast sandwiches: it starts with a bacon-wrapped, deep-fried hot dog (Crif’s claim to fame), and adds a slice of melty American cheese and a fried egg."

"The chili dog (which comes with mustard and onions) has a crisp snap and rugged, gnarled sexiness from the deep frying; makes me want to down more than one. Like no other place in the city, Crif Dogs fills a need and fills it well."

"This is when things really start getting Crif Dog-y. It's wrapped in bacon, topped with chili, and will never disappoint."
on Chili Dog
"But for my money, it's always been about the Spicy Red Neck, an unholy alliance of chili, cole slaw and jalapenos that'll truly "make you wanna slap your mama," as the menu decrees."

"A beauty of a dog wrapped in that Jersey delicacy, Taylor Ham and nestled atop a slice of American cheese, and capped off with a dose of mustard and a hefty amount of chopped pepperoncini. Not for the faint of heart!"

"If you’ve ever dreamed of combining cream cheese with a hot dog, you’re in luck. The Temptee Dog, a hot dog schmeared with cream cheese, is a regular on the menu."

"I can't imagine finding a better version than the Good Morning, a bacon-wrapped hot dog atop a fried egg and a slice of gooey, fluorescent yellow processed cheese. Bacon, hot dog, egg, cheese, and bun in every bite—there is no way that could be bad."
on Cheese Dog
"Taylor ham, egg, cheese. Like actually waking up in Jersey, you know what just happened was awesome, but maybe just a little off."
