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

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.

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!

Food brings back memories.

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

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.)

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

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

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

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.

This looks amazing

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

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

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

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

Every neighborhood needs a place like this :-)

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

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

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

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.

You are my hero!

Gonna check this place out.

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

love lucas :*

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

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

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

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

Best host

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

Thought you would def be in north jersey for this video

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.

Looks delisouis

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

right next to my house love it!

I want to see that out-take show.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

i want it, i need it

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

My first hotdog was at the swap shop lol

Can you come back to London? You really did not visit the best places last time😕

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

My good friends got engaged here at arbetters

Well he was honest! Lol

im from miami i have never eaten that in my life

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

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

Don't mean to be this guy Lucas, but it's Peter O'Toole who play's Anton Ego in Ratatouille.

Lucas moves his hands like a sweet fella..

Gotta go to the cubs game not white Sox Lucas!

Arbetter's is the spot.

o my god those fries 😋

LOOKING GOOD 🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭

Rutts hut bite off smart move

rich in friendship with lots of tender loving sodium

That lady at 4:50 really likes eye glasses!

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

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.

the lady turned arnold for a moment

I am sooooo hungry 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Lucas the plug

was the crunch concussive?

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.

Go to Roll N Roaster in Brooklyn

"Two napkins is plenty."

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

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

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

Why is she wearin 2 glasses

I love hotdogssss!!!!!

Waiting for Lucas to comment on this video 😀

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

There's a Westchester in NYC!

Hungry

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

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.

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

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

It’s called a ripper!

Same owner as the one in Cocoa, FL?

Damn this dude can eat lol

Ive not had a hot dog in... years :(

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

yo i feel like camerca man wanted to film them two girls more then lucas lol

Come to biff burger in saint petersburg florida

The critic was voiced by Peter O’Toole

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. 🌝

Deep fried GLIZZY

Isn't this a NJ thing?

how many thousands of kcal

How do these compare to ... what's that place in Oklahoma called? Oh shoot. I'll come back to edit. Coney Dog!!

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.
