How Deep-Fried Hot Dogs Became a Miami Favorite - Dining on a Dime

[@SortedFood]

"Rich in Friendship" love that! So many food spots across the states that we visited oozed the same family/friendship spirit!

[@worsthereverwas]

SORTEDfood do a colab you guys!!!!

[@badfriendd]

Yo do collab! LucaSORTED.

[@GitaSavitriDevi]

Hi guys!!

[@chimpaflimp]

Collab when?

[@XwytreX]

Hi guys!

[@user-ku1np8bs8n]

The past 6 months I’ve been in a really bad place-both psychologically and physically. I’ve dealt with relentless emotional and verbal abuse as well as a chronic disease. One of the ways I’ve tried to numb and distract myself is through the internet. One day while spending hours online I found your videos. I was immediately struck by your engaging, curious, and compassionate personality and character. The way your mind and “heart” work in unison is truly inspiring: you think deeply but you care deeply too. The humanity that you bring to each interpersonal interaction is astounding and seems to deepen your experience of the food too. The people around me in these past few months have been none of those things that you and your work represent. In them I’ve seen cruelty, greed, and narcissism. As time goes by, sometimes it’s been hard to remember that there are people out there who don’t share the same values. Watching your videos has given me hope.

[@donpeniani1]

i think its time for u to find a new circle g

[@skyraven89]

I know that this is late but I hope you’re in a better place rn!

[@JohnnySmoove]

Bruh. Its a hot dog.

[@ru9368]

Bring Lucas back

[@EvanHT]

a video on hotdogs stopped ya from ending it all eh. what a world we live in.

[@AlexHernandez-up5kf]

Born & raised in Miami and this feature is spot on. Will never forget the 1st time I visited Arbetter’s over 25-yrs ago. Same taste, same quality every time. Thanks for this!

[@robbiekop7]

You have to move to Korea for an all dog Hot Dog 🔥😒

[@kristophergoordman7225]

Yeah, Rutt’s Hut opened in 1928 in NJ and originated the “RIPPER”.

[@DessertGeek]

I love this kind of place! Where you can get a simple, hearty meal, and have the same experience you had as a kid. (Also, I miss my old chili dog place. The restaurant chain still exists, but the one I lived in in high school is now a parking lot. It's not the same.)

[@ilijazz]

I love that they don't give any fuck about the show. They keep it real, everybody know the best street food comes from the nastiest looking joints

[@BoredAndBrowsing]

ilias 2405 yes! This right here. I tell people this all the time and they just don't believe it.

[@aldocuacuas5838]

ilias 2405 facts 😂😂😂

[@RayfilWong]

Food brings back memories.

[@rtlennonsr]

Mom and Pop places are usually awesome! The owners put a personal interest in the quality of the product and the service. You make the onion rings and hot look delicious. thank you for you enthusiastic review.

[@YoursTrulyRose]

Ruts Hut River Road, Clifton NJ Where the deep fried hotdog originated

[@chromebook5949]

daija rose i just had Rutts hut 2 days ago before even knowing about this copy place

[@brunogiambroni1422]

Went to high school down the street and would come here after class. So good

[@robertgoidel]

This place in Miami, FL is a rarity. Way too many fast food places are completely devoid of any personality or "soul". Helping the community where you get your business was priceless. Miami certainly gets its share of Hurricanes like any community along the coastal areas of this Nation.

[@wyattpalmer936]

cmon, lucas has to be the best host on youtube. Eater better be paying the man!

[@crustytravels]

That looks like a great way to end a night of drinking in Miami and I'm a veg head.

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

So did the series get cancelled? Haven't seen or heard anything in a while.

[@rayakojuice]

Was about to comment the same thing. Lucas had a whole vibe. Loved how the dude presented the show.

[@Creams0da_]

He has a new show, it's called Off Menu.

[@PSL09]

yea Lucas works for the la times now and he has another show there

[@wcj2012]

Lucas, you've gotta make your way to Birmingham, AL. I think you'll be happily surprised by the food scene.

[@henryi9738]

Arbetter's is awesome ! Used to got there all the time in high school, Southwest Eagles baby !

[@daveotuwa5596]

A student in my former special education program is originally from Boston. My siblings are from Boston but not exactly. They were born in a suburb.

[@bwest6275]

I always thought rippers were first created and made famous at Rutt’s Hut in New Jersey?

[@Quoodle1]

What's the chili on the chili dog like? I've found there are some regional variations (seeing as this one is not canned). Sweet, tangy, spicy, simply meaty? Just curious.

[@sanansa4567]

they have been doing this at Rutt's Hut in NJ for many years, they call it the Ripper

[@cheftuan]

You should get a Miami local to show you guys around. What is this?

[@karan_hiremath]

Love the kid in the back who obviously had too much soda and the ma'am rockin two pairs of glasses

[@Lena305-0]

The corn dogs are the best, they aren’t frozen they make the batter there AMAZING

[@wyllmRox]

was the crunch concussive?

[@eater]

It was the platonic ideal.

[@twoblink]

I'm going to Miami tomorrow; will definitely stop here.

[@daveotuwa5596]

Thanks to the joint's restaurateur for moving to Miami, FL, to avoid the crazy deep blizzards that hinder commutes!

[@hi-nw7qy]

You know the place is chill when they serve things on paper plates.

[@feeltheburnsalissaaj681]

This looks amazing

[@leannes.9859]

Lived in South Florida for 30 years...never heard of this place...????

[@LobasFavoriteChair]

Me neither! Or this neighborhood. 🤷

[@robertrico7598]

I'm a Cuban American, grew up in Miami, didn't like the last video. I will keep my reasons to myself. This one you NAILED Arbetter's is totally non-touristy and I have been going there for more than 30 years. Good Job

[@aigoochamnaa]

I'm visiting Miami this weekend. Any suggestions on what to eat there? I want a local's opinion, not Yelp's. Thanks in advance!

[@robertrico7598]

aigoochamnaa where are you going to stay? Miami is geographically odd

[@aigoochamnaa]

Robert Rico Miami Beach

[@aigoochamnaa]

Robert Rico willing to travel for good food tho! ;)

[@swamidan277]

Why didn't you like the last video..you can tell me

[@Annick080]

Every neighborhood needs a place like this :-)

[@CalusBlade]

I love onion rings. . .but they give you so little in a non-fast food restaurant. I remember going one place it cost me $6 (USD) and I got like 6 onion rings. . .big ones with real onions but only 6 :( I wish I was good a making fried foods but I not.

[@genobutera2237]

They call em a ripper cause you rip one in your pants after eating one

[@helpdonate]

Does it crack the toilet bowl?

[@mdjcsmith]

Like home. Just read that my favourite Greek souvlaki place that's been here since the 80s has closed down.

[@izakkertznus4005]

He's the BEST host on this channel. DEFINITELY. :D

[@KHobbies_cina]

I love how he used the fry scoop and used the back end instead of the purposed mouth

[@mbalars1]

The Arebetters is in Cocoa and I love it! live about a mile away and we try to go about twice a month. :-)

[@coughforme21]

A fried-dog joint would go over huge in Tokyo. They should open here.

[@MrSteezy]

Thought you would def be in north jersey for this video

[@kidyuki1]

I just remembered that Dining on a Dime is no more, and now watching this has a much more somber tone.

[@TurkGallant]

Lucas is looking like he's been eating a lot of them Miami Bad Boys

[@lionellim5499]

6:18 jeremy irons wasnt the critic in ratatouille, Lucas lacking in the movie trivia dept =)

[@jasveendhani7455]

I came early, I respected the video and watched it first. Now I'm commenting.

[@user-dv3rc3mm1t]

im from miami i have never eaten that in my life

[@Sisterfifi]

I assumed when I saw the title that the deep fried were the way that we do them in Aust dipped in batter and deep fried.

[@conciousness.]

Why is she wearin 2 glasses

[@VBlogAngel]

She forgot where she left them, and got another set. Still looking for the old ones

[@Tombler0ne]

maybe one is for reading

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

She's woke

[@hyperangel64]

OG bifocals

[@cyriszx]

She took the four eyes insult literally

[@LazyPirate8]

Gonna check this place out.

[@patrickmacconnell17]

That lady at 4:50 really likes eye glasses!

[@j.b.5230]

I want to see that out-take show.

[@hatehaters494]

The way this man walks...I just can’t...

[@frank_frank_75]

You should visit Frankie's Pizza. It's just down the road and as big if not bigger in the community as Arbetters. Best pizza in Miami. Get it with pepperoni only.

[@Hyperion964_]

Not even close as one of the best pizza in Miami. You're better off going to lucali's for pizza which is the best in Miami

[@brunogiambroni1422]

Can’t agree with Frankie’s being the best pizza but I do love it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@cheftuan]

Hype2431 mister 01's star luca pizza is better than lucali.

[@ritzkola2302]

It’s not located in Miami

[@NoRestForTheWeary]

Frankie's is trash. The only reason people hype it up is because of nostalgia. Those pre-baked pizzas are garbage. Leo's on Coral Way shits on Frankie's.

[@oguti002]

Best hot dog on the planet by far. You won’t know until you try it.

[@joeykarate3148]

Isn't this a NJ thing?

[@daveotuwa5596]

There's a Westchester in NYC!

[@daveotuwa5596]

Where? In the Bronx. Named after a settler who lived there and was born in Denmark, the official home of LEGO. The architecture industry's favourite toy company. Let's build together!

[@myMiamibackyard]

Arbetter's is the spot.

[@noreaction1]

My good friends got engaged here at arbetters

[@jr13227]

Gotta go to the cubs game not white Sox Lucas!

[@randyhendrix5375]

Lucas moves his hands like a sweet fella..

[@davidcampos268]

Rutts hut bite off smart move

[@Yarmox]

My first hotdog was at the swap shop lol

[@matthewnugent2256]

Go to Roll N Roaster in Brooklyn

[@jmautobrokers6568]

Same owner as the one in Cocoa, FL?

[@kawaiidemon]

You are my hero!

[@Sakja]

NJ had the best hot dogs in the 50s and 60s. Still got great pizza.

[@memoryfailure]

Still has the best hotdogs too

[@violetmartinez9642]

Fried hotdogs are a jersey sure thing. I’m sure the people that left here and went there what it along with them.

[@wobblegook]

Violet Martinez you can't claim food, especially something easy as a fried dog..

[@violetmartinez9642]

wobblegook Lol joke’s on you. The only hot dog I claim is a Nathan’s hot dog from Brooklyn. That’s what I was raised on and that’s what I still eat.

[@MrSteezy]

I agree. I saw the title and thought he was in north jersey

[@violetmartinez9642]

STEEZ you know what I’m sayin! 973 stand up. If you know Rutt Hut you know anout Hersey’s love of fried hot dogs. I think I live here 15 years before I’d let my Mathan’s Jones die, and my bff took me to that place.

[@MrSteezy]

Violet Martinez I’m from Elizabeth aka the wick

[@jonaslundholm]

Wait what? “There are people here who’s know my family since the 30s.” His father opened the place, how old is this guy?

[@NineteenEightyFive]

his whole family... as in his mother and father

[@willb.3497]

Doesn't the lady Lucas is talking to while eating chili dogs sound like Sandra Bullock? Lol

[@fajarfazra193]

Best host

[@aampofficial-w1c]

right next to my house love it!

[@mswhite1004]

Lucky ass

[@DimZdalle]

love lucas :*

[@therealkingfrances3242]

It’s called a ripper!

[@itsmejahmarie]

Well he was honest! Lol

[@Dragon4eva]

No one gonna mention the double glasses?

[@vanessacowles-turner8703]

Dragon4eva glad I wasnt the only one who noticed

[@cafezo87934]

Dragon4eva third one is hanging around her neck and fourth is in her purse 😁

[@capt.obvious4487]

I was wondering if one thing her husband ask her is why she wears two sets of glasses.

[@michaelfisher5357]

White Sox!!! South Side Pride!!!

[@SoneDiadem]

the lady turned arnold for a moment

[@ritzkola2302]

Westchester isn’t a neighborhood in *Miami, it’s practically it’s own city-community and is located south of Sweetwater (a city) and west of West Miami* (another city). As a born and raised resident of the *actual city of Miami* it’s tiring hearing tourists call every place south of county line road Miami. It’s ignorant and drastically undercuts the actual people who live there and takes away from what business they’d have to promote. My family has been here since the 30s.

[@LobasFavoriteChair]

💯💯💯💯💯

[@CJ-dx4mq]

Lmao my family and me have been frying hotdogs since we first saw a sausage.

[@truebluekit]

That woman's husband was a Dad before he got married...

[@rptrj1384]

how many thousands of kcal

[@lorimendenhall411]

Looks delisouis

[@helbergalinda9141]

You should come to cd Juarez or el paso TX best food in a border city

[@chrislarge7077]

Where is this guy?

[@Sherryrice4149]

Oh my goodness I am obsessed with only a hot dog and Coney restaurant. That is my dream. I know it's going to happen. Anybody have any ideas on the best coney sauce let me know. Not the standard the best. 🌝

[@sleepyjoeisnotlegit]

Lucas stopped listening to the bald dude after he took that first sip of that cup full of tonka vodka..

[@carlosdeenavi]

The critic was voiced by Peter O’Toole

[@Lmonroig]

Lucas the plug

[@sandraandrews9907]

OMG! My mouth is watering for a hot dog combo (dog/cheese fries/drink) now!!! 🌭🍟😉 Yum! 😍😍🌭 #hotdogluv #RichinFriendship

[@johnyannacci4413]

A boiled hot dog with mustard, relish, and onions is the only way to eat a hot dog in New England. It must be served on a toasted New England bun. But, that's just us.

[@xdsmastermia]

I never really liked hot dogs so i can't comment on quality, only been there once

[@Tec-fv2xb]

They were playing cards in the back and didn’t even clean the kitchen lol wow

[@austinlyle3579]

you don’t clean the kitchen until closing time

[@nigelmulliniz4021]

It wasn't closing time lmao

[@Consolethumbs]

Looks good but Chicago dogs are still the best 😋♥️

[@ThanatosComplex]

Love the show but if you’re gonna do Rippers you have to go to Rutts Hut in Clifton, NJ

[@eater]

We went to Rutts Hut for an episode of The Meat Show, thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX64anSfr5x0sM0

[@OfficialJamieBrown]

Deep fried GLIZZY
