An owner of the adjacent Benny’s Food Mart also will own and operate Just Dogs, according to data on the Dallas Central Appraisal District website. I’ve left a message for said proprietor and will report back regarding exactly when we can expect this taste of Chicago to hit the Lake Highlands-East Dallas border.

Neighborhood residents might recall a no-frills yet reputable Chicago Hot Dog/Eddie’s Deli on the southeast sector of the same intersection. Those dogs were well-liked but the store eventually went out of business and was replaced by Latin Deli, which seems to be thriving.
