Frank is Austin’s newest Artisan Sausage shop in downtown Austin. I’m not sure if gourmet is the word but at least you can trust what is in these hot dogs. Frank is having a soft opening right now, as you can see from the ongoing constuction inside, so the changing hours are listed on their website. Most importantly, the kitchen is ready and the food is delicious. Although we had a group of 13, our order took much longer to come out than I thought hot dogs should take. Heck, its only been open 4 days. I will definitely be back for the chili cheese dog, probably the best item on the menu. I miss Starlite, but I can’t complain when a cheaper option comes along. A casual setting of brick walls and wooden tables have replaced the fancy mirrors, white tablecloths, and chandeliers of Starlite. The bar menu is a force to be reckoned with, order anything from a PBR tallboy to a Daytripper (fresh watermelon juice, St. Germain, Tito’s Vodka, mint). I apologize for the poor picture quality, these are from my iphone.
Chili Cheese Dog, I could of eaten 2 of these, they need a foot long on the menu.

Waffle Fry Nachos, I think sour cream was missing, not that it needs it. heart attack waiting to happen.
Chicago Dog w/ cheese
Small waffle fry, comes with 1 dipping sauce
Beer Soaked Brat, Brats are usually hard to bite into so maybe they need softer bread for this one to balance that out.

Nothing above $7 and much safer/healthier than street vendors? Come to papa! Also, Tecate by the can seals the deal.
Spoiled Brat
My Canadian friends finally have a place to order a solid Poutine, I on the other hand will stick to Lil Smokie Corn Dog Bites. Even Vogue magazine approves of these appetizers!

The portabella cheese steak sandwich thing makes frequent appearances in my dreams and then I have to get up and change my pillow case cuz of all the drool. And then, since I’m awake and all, I start to think about the Texalina dog. Then I look at my gut and figure I might as well throw in some cheese waffle fries cuz really… why not at this point.
