Lunch @ Jim's Hot Dogs

I remember Jim when he used to own the gym up on the North side of town. Now I've come to find out he opened up a restaurant in downtown Findlay. Since I am a fan of hot dogs, today's lunch it was. The establishment itself is small and prone to traffic congestion. However, there is a small open area across the street, if the weather's good enough.

Locally owned and operated, Jim's Hot Dogs serve hot dogs, burgers, and breakfast Monday through Saturday. This will be more a lunch stop for me, but it's good to know. I decided on the "Findlay-style Dog," which is essentially a Chicago-style dog. The only differences I saw were the use of a regular bun (poppy seed is common for Chicago-style) and cross-cut jalapeno peppers instead of whole sport peppers. Overall, I enjoyed my dish and could taste all of the flavors in the hot dog. For a hot dog, that's pretty good.

Upcoming Grand Openings

We have seen the sign on the side of the building for a bit now, and thought it might be worth mentioning: Findlay is getting an AJ's Heavenly Pizza franchise, which will be opening up this March 4th. You can find AJ's all over Northern Ohio, and as one reviewer describes them:

AJ's is known as "The Home of the Jumbo." This pizza is huge and can serve several people. There are also 10", 12", 14", and 18" sizes with all the usual toppings. Also on the menu are pasta dishes (spaghetti and lasagna), subs (served hot on fresh homemade buns), salads, foldovers, appetizers (wings, poppers, breadsticks, mozzarella sticks), and desserts (cinnamon sticks and brownies).

AJ's Heavenly Pizza will be located at 1404 N. Main St, and you can reach them at 419-423-7494 for Carryout or Delivery.

Also celebrating their Grand Opening this March 1st will be Jim's Hot Dogs. Jim Steffen, the owner, previously owned and operated Jim's Gym on the north end of town. More recently you may have seen him out and around Findlay, or at a special event (like Boogie on Main) with his mobile hot dog cart. If you've had his hot dogs before, or you know Jim himself, I'm sure you're as excited as we are to see how he fares in a permanent location.

Jim's Hot Dogs will be located at 103 E. Sandusky St. downtown, across from Revolver. Their phone number is 567-251-3647 and their website is located at www.JimsHotDogs.net. The site is currently under construction, but you can see their entire menu and find out more at their Facebook fan page.
