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.
