JonJon’s Hot Dog Dishes Out Gourmet Franks

May 25, 2017 by

Don't come to JonJon's Hot Dog looking for a Chicago-style frank. Or a New York-style or a Seattle-style, for that matter. The gourmet hot dogs that JonJon's serves up are unlike anything you've ever tried before because they're distinctly Houstonian in a bizarrely delicious way.

So don't be intimidated by the long list of ingredients that tops the signature Fully Loaded dog—you won't be disappointed. It begins simply, with a toasted bun, in which an all-beef frank or a veggie dog sits. That's where "simple" ends. Cream cheese, spicy mustard, curry ketchup, grilled onions, fried onions, honey mayo, and spicy Sriracha smother the dog in an explosion of flavors that, somehow, make perfect sense to your taste buds. There are a few ways you can customize the Fully Loaded dog, so take a chance on this unique creation at JonJon's Hot Dog.
