VIBE
Cool retro murals and bright red colours against a wooden backdrop give something decidedly unfancy a fancy exterior. It works and it brings people in, right?
The staff are really nice.
WE ATE
Smart idea: come up with different permutations of ingredients and themes to put on a hot dog or specialize in one thing, call it "gourmet" or "fancy" and mark it up a LOT. That's business in 2012!
We got the "Frank's Got Seoul," the shop's Korean take on the hot dog. Braised ribs (more shredded) with kimchi and sesame seeds topped our frank. My friend LOVED it. I loved the kimchi but it was just too much protein. The dog on its own was very good.
I saw the poutine. It's a hefty portion.
I found out about the donuts too late. Next time!
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
Uh, you fancy huh? Uh Uh. Good for a late night eat or if you're starving/craving a dog. No "street meat" here.
