| - I feel like there are a lot of hotdogs haters out there, and I just want to speak up for the downtrodden franks. Also, I mean, the name is a fantastic pun and they get bonus points for that.
I've been to Franktuary for lunch, dinner, brunch, and drinks, and have always had a great experience. I can't recommend just one dog off the menu, since every time I try one, I declare it my new favorite. My top recommendations are: Pittsburgh, Memphis, and Chicago Impostor.
I know people complain about the pricey wieners, but keep in mind, these are all beef franks, and you also have the option for locally sourced meats. Sure, it's not a $1 cart dog on the street, but I don't think it ever claimed it was.
When I go to brunch, I can't help but order whatever brunch poutine they have cooked up. That choice has ever done me wrong--but I find the regular poutine's gravy a bit too salty and steer clear of that as a dinner option.
This place is great to bring just about anyone. Foodies love it, my Mom loves it, my vegan cousin tolerates it, and I regularly meet for after work drinks there (great food specials during happy hour 4-6). The staff is always friendly, and the events they hold always look fun (must get to a crossword night soon!)
I hope I've set the haters straight, if you love a hotdog, or even just have lukewarm feelings towards the thing--you're gonna love it here.
