Johnny's Hots

"Here's Johnny's famous hot. While mustard and/or pepper hash would be a fine companion, the 'long hots' proved to be an ideal foil for the heat of the sausage itself."

"Here is where you dine at Johnny's. A newspaper article posted here is headlined "Johnny's saves I-95." Bridge inspectors who regularly dine here looked up from their hots one day and noticed that the roadway running overhead was in imminent danger of collapse."
Michael Stern



"Next to this item on the menu, in parentheses, are the words 'one roll.' Only old-time Philadelphians are familiar with Levi's strange combo sandwich of a tube steak and a fish cake, which you might think of as cut-rate surf and turf. The best parts of this sandwich are the roll and the pepper hash."
Michael Stern



"Johnny's is located in a gentrifying waterfront area known as fishtown. Johnny's itself is not gentrified, although its kitchen does have a push-button cappuccino machine."
