Chicago Johnny Recipes

johnny in the kitchenTo celebrate Chicago culinary history is why I first started Chicago Johnny's. When I went away to college out west in Illinois, and the culture shock of my favorites just disappearing from my life flipped my culinary life upside down, I just missed the foods I grew up eating; crispy thin pizza, heavy cheesy and tomatoey deep dish, soaking wet Italian beef sandwiches, charred Italian sausage, baked mostaccioli, polish sausage, high quality beef hot dogs.... I couldn't even find Italian bread that wasn't just white bread labeled as Italian bread. So when I came home from college I started up making giardiniera to satisfy my craving, and then people tried it and started buying it from me, and then I made a brand, and now we are here! These are some recipes from my kitchen, hoping to share my kitchen culinary experiences with you all. You can print each one of these recipes out and throw it up on your fridge! Happy cooking all!
