ATM Blown Up Outside Fishtown Restaurant: Reports

PHILADELPHIA — An ATM was blown up overnight outside a Philadelphia restaurant that was once lauded by Food & Wine for its hot dog.

According to Action News, the explosion happened at about 1:30 a.m. outside Johnny's Hots on 1200 block of North Delaware Avenue.

Debris from the explosion was found about 50 feet from the machine, but authorities do not believe money was taken from the ATM, Fox 29 reports.

Johnny's Hots got national attention in 2020 when Food & Wine talked up its rather unique hot dog: the long hot topped with a cod and potato fish cake, a pepper hash made with cabbage and apple cider vinegar, and red peppers.

"Johnny’s Hots is the perfect place to introduce the unsuspecting to the very best kind of Philadelphia, the no-bullshit kind, starring a reliable cast of characters that can be found lining up at strange hours, as early as five o’clock in the morning," the magazine wrote in 2020.

Anyone who had information on the incident should contact Philadelphia Police at 215-686-8477.
