The Signature Dishes

A frosted mug of birch beer; hot dog with mustard, onions, and relish; and an order of french fries, at the picnic tables at Hot Dog Johnny's, in Buttzville, New Jersey. (Sorry, no sauerkraut served here!)

Route 46 was a major east-west throughfare before Interstate 80 was built, and Hot Dog Johnny's, which opened in 1944, is a thriving reminder of what roadside architecture and cuisine were like back in the day.

    I bet I found a hot dog better than this one :)

    Actually, I wouldn't say this is the best hot dog EVAR... but the overall ambiance is unbeatable. Where's your better one from?

    I know of another awesome hot dog place, with delicious dogs and a wonderful atmosphere, but I don't have a photo...Puka Dog on Kauai. The Hawaiian style! So good....
