Air-Fried Hot Dog Spot Moves To New Passaic County Location

Lover Dogs is in a new spot by the river, still serving up crispy hot dogs and other fast food favorites with "less guilt."

WOODLAND PARK, NJ — A popular hot dog spot has returned to Passaic County, as Lover Dogs officially opens its doors in Woodland Park.

Owner Wayne Mills uses an air fryer to get a crisp casing on his hot dogs, which are brought in from Hofmann Sausage Company in Syracuse, N.Y. Marketed as "Fast Food, Less Guilt," the menu includes other air-fried favorites like corn dogs, fries, wings, and tater tots along with burgers and gelato.

This is the second location, and the former restaurant at 830 Main Avenue in Passaic has since closed.
