Johnny Dogs coming to Marquette

More than once we have been part of a conversation about food regarding Marquette when someone inevitably says "Where can you get a good hot dog?"

Well, that all depends on your idea of a good hot dog, most likely, but the newest answer is probably going to be short and sweet -- Johnny Dogs.

The Munising-based restaurant will be opening up a second location, this time on N. Third Street in Marquette. They'll be occupying the former home of Ron's Tacos, right near the Casa Calabria. The goal is to have the location up and running by January 15.

And Johnny Dogs doesn't just slap an ol' frankfurter on a bun and call it a day, owner John Flanders prides himself in offering up to-notch eats that range from wraps to hamburgers to soups to pastas and more -- oh, yeah, and a crazy-good selection of hot dogs (like the awesome sounding hot wings dog that has Buffalo sauce injected inside the dog, topped with bacon, bleu cheese and celery slaw -- yes, please!). How about a Philly dog? A cordon bleu dog? A Boston terrier? Yeah -- the list just keeps going and going.

And you pretty much have to try the piggy fries. Just do it. You'll be happy you did.

So just how good is Johnny Dogs? Well, out of 131 picky eaters on UrbanSpoon, the restaurant has nailed down 94-percent of the positive vote. Check it out yourself at the UrbanSpoon website.
