Fat Johnnie's Famous Red Hots

Just a quick update - I had not been back to Fat Johhnies since my last review because I live so far away from it. I went there Yesterday and it was just as good as I remember it.

Mighty Dog is as awesome as it is original.  Tamale & a dog turns out to be a perfect combo!  I didn't expect it and was surprised.  No fries though.

I'm not a fan since I hate hot dogs but my husband swears by this place.

The problem is the neighborhood. It's all fun, games, and good eats until someone gets shot: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.suntimes.com%2F15117165-761%2Fbloody-two-hours-on-south-side-1-killed-6-hurt-in-shootings.html&s=5ecdd5691b009b59006e16bd85cec6a1d6451ceb382eab153bb4760191b5fc1e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.suntimes.com/…</a>

69th and Western is way too close to Fat Johnnie's. Sorry husband of mine, you're not bringing our 3 year old there.
