Johnny’s Lunch burst onto the scene in 1936, just when this country was beginning to emerge from the demoralizing grip of a deep depression. The restaurant was an immediate success selling Johnny’s Hots™ for a dime. The proprietors of Johnny’s, Johnny Colera and his wife, Minnie, quickly realized that their customers were looking for something different, something quite unique: Quality, Quantity, Price, and Service.
Here is a glance at our world class flavors – Johnny always said, “give the customer quality and value and they will always come back for more.” Anyone can sell a hot dog, but there is only one Johnny’s Hot™ and Johnny’s Burger™. Johnny’s Hots™ and Burgers are hot and juicy but never greasy.
The word is out about our famous sauce, but the secret recipe remains locked inside. The story behind this renowned sauce began in the late 1930s, when Johnny Colera knew he needed something special – something quite unique to complement his special hots. Johnny rolled up his sleeves and with his wife Minnie and some good old fashioned trial and error they were determined to create something special. Together they created an entirely new flavor that would change the course of history. Word soon spread about of Johnny’s sauce, and customers came from miles around just to get a taste. Today, whether served on Johnny’s Hots, burgers, fries, or onion rings, loyal fans continue to crave that wonderful flavor.
