One of New Jersey’s hot dog institutions, Rutt’s Hut, has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the owners of Mutt’s Hut, a competitor only 5 miles away.

Rutt’s, which is known for “ripper dogs” fried in fat until the skin rips, claims Mutt’s is trying to capitalize on the 83-year-old restaurant’s reputation.

Mutt’s changed its name from Adam’s Bagel & Deli in January.
