RIP... my bottle of Johnny's.
« on: May 14, 2014, 03:30:26 AM »
We've been through a lot together: moves, get togethers, breakups, college finals. After more time than anyone should be allowed to keep a condiment, I finally poured my last of my Johnny's seasoning salt on some burgers tonight. I like the stuff, but apparently not too much that I let it last for untold years in my seasoning rack. I guess I'm not much of a condiments guy--perhaps that's why I still fit the clothes I had when it came into my life. I didn't even buy the bottle new--who knows how old it was when I got it. this much is sure, it will be missed. Burgers just aren't the same without it. Therein lies the dilemma: since Johnny's is a Tacoma speciality, who knows whether I'll find a replacement bottle down here in the Southwest where I now reside.

So now the question is: what nationally available seasoning salt can best replace it, if anything?  :'(

We go through 1 of those every 2 months :chuckle: it's the only seasoning bottle in the cabinet that doesn't even have a lid.

Sorry for your loss.

http://www.amazon.com/Johnnys-Seasoning-Salt-32-Ounce-Bottles/dp/B001DCDCQS

Nationally available and a 3 lifetime supply at the rate you're going.

However - and this may cause you to have to find a new birthday suit - you have been doing your food a disservice by using Johnny's.  Try this:

http://www.amazon.com/Tony-Chacheres-Original-Creole/dp/B00161FSZY

I have been using Tony's since I have left Louisiana in the '80s, and Johnny's just does not measure up.   What was once only available as a cajun secret is now available to Yankees in the local Fred Meyer.

Find a Cost-co.  They should have a whole pallet of bottles 10x that size.

Thanks for the recommendations all!

LOL lifetime supply indeed! I guess there's  a good use for the anti-caking agent and the MSG after all  :chuckle:

I replace Johnny's with Cavender's Greek All Purpose Seasoning years ago...That and Tony's Creole I haven't had the need for Johnny's.

Cavender's is another good one, but for different purposes for me.

Gotta second the Tony's recommendation!  Its amazing!

I love Johnny's, I keep little bottles everywhere in case I should need it. Costco should have it, but if you can't find any  I'd be happy to send you a bottle. To me there is no replacement.  :tup:

Aw sucks, that's awesome of you!  :tup:

A few of you have mentioned Costco so I'll check it out. While the size of the bottle I'll likely walk out with will be a 3x lifetime supply as another poster pointed out, it will likely be the cost of shipping alone.

Stay tuned..

RIP!  :o a Johnny's replacement doesn't exist! I was going to offer to send you some too haha but I see the you've gotten an offer already  :chuckle:

Oh... and all mine are MSG free. I didn't actually know they sold Johnny's WITH it until I clicked the amazon link. Here's the MSG free version http://www.amazon.com/Johnnys-Seasoning-Salt-42-Ounce-Bottle/dp/B008DGKPQW/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1400274379&sr=1-1&keywords=johnnys+msg+free+seasoning+salt if you're wanting that.
