Rutt's serves just about the ugliest looking hot dog around.  Deep fat fried rather than steamed or grilled.  Cooked until its skin is mangled and torn.  That's the classic Ripper, shown above - proving that beauty, rather than being skin deep, comes from deep within.  The meek can order "In and Outers" - hardly wrinkled at all.  Strong of spirit might consider a couple of "Cremators" cooked to a tasty black.

Whatever style, top them with a layer of Rutt's secret relish, the secret ingredients being chopped cabbage and carrots.
