In Short
One of the country's original ''shock-jocks'', Bill Johnson, ran a rebel radio show out of a makeshift jail cell in his original Van Buren restaurant. Celebrity musicians, actors, cowboys and politicians all showed up to eat some great barbecue and chat it up with Johnson on air. Today, the Johnson family keeps his legendary spirit alive with several of his famous steakhouses throughout Arizona and grocery stores stocked with his famous barbecue sauces.
