Frank

Miguel's brother was in town over the weekend and it was his birthday.  He has been vegetarian for 6 months and did not even know veggie hot dogs existed!  We went to Iggi's for round one of hotdogs, and on his birthday we went to Frank.  This is a nice, swanky place, an overall great atmosphere.  There was live music that brought you back to the 50's from the sound to the clothing.  However, Miguel's brother did not appreciate that since he likes screamo.. only.  As for the menu, they charge 25 cents extra if you want a veggie dog and $1 extra if you want vegetarian chili, why?  Whatever, we were going to do it anyway but then Shannon asked which of the 4 buns were vegan and got a very bad answer.  First off, the server said "we have gluten free buns!," well that's great but I am a vegan so how does this help?  Then she says "you could just order your hot dog without a bun."  These things are only annoying because if it were her that were eating the hot dog she would probably not find a bunless hot dog very appealing either, but since we are vegans we eat weird stuff.  She checked in the back and confirmed that none of their bun choices are vegan.  So we ordered the nacho waffle fries with beans, pico and jalapenos.  Miguel's brother really liked his vegetarian hot dogs, so much so that he was convinced there is no such thing as a veggie dog and the restaurant must be lying.  Our other friend liked his meaty hot dog and we were impressed with the creme soda as well.  The beans on the waffle fries were dried up and bland, the pico was just raw tomatoes and raw onions, really the whole nacho addition detracted from the fries.  The fries were pretty good actually, very filling.  She screwed up and brought us a small, so we got a second small free, so a small is enough to fill one person.  As weird as it sounds, the ketchup was amazing.  It somehow tasted like better quality than any ketchup we have tried before but the server said it was nothing special.  We also tried, and loved, the dublin Dr. Pepper bbq sauce, mm.  Overall we will not go back there.. to pay over $4 for a slab of fake meat, or for french fries.  Although if we ended up here because of someone in our party, we won't mind eating more ketchup with some fries on top.
