So I work around College and Spadina and there are a couple of good options around for food (read Clubhouse Sandwich Shop, Fancy Franks) but I'm not one to eat at the same place everyday. Fancy Franks is good but it's a bit far to walk in -20 plus wind chill kind of weather. I had recently noticed that Let's Be Frank had opened up and liking hot dogs, I checked out their menu by the door. It seemed okay but I wasn't overly impressed (I'm sure the rundown looking outside played a part.) So at least twice, I contemplated checking it out but didn't.
Working late tonight, I needed a break and some liquid relaxation. I was on my way to Red Room and noticed that Let's Be Frank is licensed. In the dark of night, I was able to see inside and saw that the interior was completely renovated and looked quite inviting. I went in for a drink over some work and ended up ordering a hot dog (Katsu) and a mac & cheese (because the one the bartender / server was having looked good) . @&#$%* What had I been missing out on? This place's dogs are better than Fancy Frank's, without a doubt.
A pint of Beau's Lug Tread and a kick ass dog? Sold!
