Johnny's Tasks Diners: Tackle 'Big Daddy Burger' 30 Minutes or Less

If you're looking for a new place to dine, there's fresh meat in town.

Johnny's Beef & Gyros recently opened its doors on a corner at 2300 N. Lincoln Ave., between Belden Avenue and Children's Place. 

In its brief tenure on the corridor, the business has already received rave reviews, with one self-proclaimed "beef connoisseur" saying its the best to ever grace his taste buds.

"Place just opened, and I went yesterday for lunch since I've been looking for a place like this in the neighborhood," writes Frederick P. on Yelp. "I consider myself a beef connoisseur, and this is literally the best I've ever had. Beef heaven on Earth. I also came back for dinner to try a dog & burger, & A+ on both."

The local restaurant, which boasts "the goods, big time fries and serious salads" is the second of the eatery's locations, with the first being in Joliet. Its menu includes a Chicago Dog, gyros, Italian beef … Oh, and the "Big Daddy."

If you tackle the Big Daddy burger in less than 30 minutes, you could become a "certified VIP Big Daddy," according to the Johnny's website.

"As a VIP Big Daddy, you get the perks of getting your victory photo on our website, Facebook and Instagram pages, VIP Big Daddy wristband, a Big Daddy T-shirt, and bragging rights as a certified Big Daddy," the site says, citing a #bigdaddychallenge hashtag.

The new neighborhood addition is within striking distance of DePaul University students and offers carry-out, dine in or online ordering.
