RIP... my bottle of Johnny's.

[Bean Counter]

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? 

[buglebuster]

We go through 1 of those every 2 months 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:

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.

Wordekempers out of Nebraska. You'll never go back to Johnny's. Or V's grill you can get in spokane or online.

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

[MacAttack]

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.

[Fl0und3rz]

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

Gotta second the Tony's recommendation!  Its amazing!

Well, sometimes you have to experience a loss to move on and discover something new and perhaps, even better 

Here ya go!  You can thank me later.  http://www.alpinetouch.com/

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.

Aw sucks, that's awesome of you! 

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!  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 

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.

[Bean Counter]

Thanks to you too, miss!

Agreed: MSG = 

Perhaps I would allow myself to use more if a neurotoxin weren't in the ingredients.

Whoa had to update my link, sent ya to the wrong one... but that link (now) is only $14.83 for the 42 oz MSG free bottle.  (if you can't find it in stores).

WINCO has it

[Jason]

WINCO has it

  Thats where we get it in bulk, then I fill up all my johnny's bottles.

[yorketransport]

This thread is hilarious! I think I have a few 5# buckets of Johnny's out in the garage. A buddy of mine worked there for a while and I have a bin full of different seasoning. I rarely use any seasonings other than salt and pepper.

I'll take one if you want to get rid of it.   

My whole family loves it on stir fried broccoli with a bit of onion and bacon bits (real ones).

[pope]

Fry up some Jalapenos (take out the seeds first for candy peppers, leave them in if you wanna sweat a little), then sprinkle with Johnny's salt. YOWZA!

[Bean Counter]

My apologies to Johnny but he was nowhere to be found at Costco and "Lowrys" was only $5. Plus it had no MSG. There's just no loyalty anymore 

It has a best buy date of next year so I better grill more burgers from now till then I guess.
