| - So listen, there's nothing quite like a hot dog from a cart on a nice day. This Sunday's 18 degree and sunny park hang had me fixated on an early dinner a la cart (see what I did there?). But, upon arrival at the Bloor and Dufferin street meat man, I learned they were out of veggie dogs. Heart broken but still determined, we made our way to Fancy Franks, about an eight minute walk away.
The set up here is kind of Subway-esque, minus the intense chain restaurant vibe of course. They have a number of fancy topping combo options, or you can get a naked dog and and add toppings to your liking. I was pretty fixated on classic cart options, so went pretty basic with ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut and mayo, but also added some potato chips for crunch. YUM. Good dog, and nice yellow eggy bun to boot. My partner - a meat eater who opted for a veg dog too - even said they couldn't tell it wasn't meat. High praise. Plus, we got two dogs plus a bottle of pop for like $12.
This was my first visit to Fancy Franks and now that I've been, I'll keep it in mind for future cravings.
