Everytime I pick up a New Times best of issue I quickly check to see if Johnnie's has won because it completely deserves it and I am always afraid it might go away.
I began my love for Chicago Style hotdogs when I moved to AZ in 2004 from Texas. After my first hotdog, I frantically searched for any sign with Vienna beef....and then I met Johnnie's and I was a goner.
The fries are perfect (I get them with chili and cheese) and the hotdog...yuuuummm.
While in college I would go in at least once a week. I would try to spread it out because I was a little ashamed that they knew my order before I said anything.
Now that I am out of college, have a desk job, and my metabolism isn't that of a 24 year old anymore, I have to limit my visits and pray my business didn't keep them in business...as my husband rolls his eyes when I tell him that that is my biggest fear...
