Prairie Dogs Hot Dogs and Handcrafted Sausage

Fittingly, Chef Craig Johnson’s first job was slinging hot dogs. He now spends his days creating beyond-basic riffs on sausages as the owner of Prairie Dogs. Johnson delivers a one-two punch of meaty flavor with his Jimmy Two Times creation. He grills housemade Italian sausage in duck fat, then pairs it with jus-drenched slices of Italian beef (also made in-house) on a Vietnamese-style baguette. The sandwich comes smothered with marinara sauce and a giardiniera that Guy declared “the real surprise.”
