Dirty Frank’s Hot Dogs, a casual hot doggery and neighborhood bar is set to open mid-July in Downtown Columbus, Ohio bringing another fun and affordable lunch option to downtown workers and dwellers. Partners Elizabeth Lessner and Harold LaRue look to bring quality hot dogs and some whimsical sizzle to downtown Columbus.
“Columbus has hot dog envy. People visit New York and Chicago and eat at some of the finest restaurants in the world but come back raving about the hot dogs,” says Lessner, current CEO of Betty’s, Surly Girl Saloon and Tip Top Kitchen and native of Chicago, famed for their outstanding “slap your forehead” scrumptious red hots.
Dirty Franks will feature delicious all-beef Vienna franks, Polish sausages, Kielbasa and Tofu dogs served in steamed poppy seed buns topped with fresh ingredients prepared to order. Sides will include Corn on the Cob with Chipotle Butter, Sriracha Cole Slaw, Roasted Sport Pepper Mac ‘n Cheese, India Pale Ale Dredged Onion Rings, and Hot Dog Cornbread. Salads and a few casserole dishes will also be available.
To complement your dog, locally brewed Frostop Root Beer on draught, plenty of Pabst Blue Ribbon and the house specialty drink, Dirty Frank’s Bloody Mary which contains Sport-Pepper Infused Vodka with Celery Seed Bloody Mary mix.
I love Hot Dogs, going back to Weiner World as a kid. But if you are going to go Chi-town :
Hot Dougs : The Encased Meat Emporium
A.
You had me at Sriracha Cole Slaw.
That sounds delicious.
If any taste testing of the products, especially the onion rings, comes up, I’m available most any time.
Is the location a secret or am I missing something?
I know where Dirty Franks will be and I ain’t telling. Try to beat me through the door when it opens.
Yes please.
Gay St would be nice. The more the merrier!
No kidding!
Kudos goes to CMH Gourmand and his expertise in our menu development.
Location will be disclosed in the very near future but officially, not yet.
Downtown, yes. On Gay Street? No.
cu.com preview party? Yes.
You guys are such teases :)
This is another exciting one. I can’t decide if I’m more excited about the hot dogs, cole slaw, cornbread, or bloody marys!!!!
Awesome.
If any taste testing of the products, especially the onion rings, comes up, I’m available most any time.
Yeah, second that…
Hmmm…hot dogs, PBR and onion rings. There is sauerkraut right?
That’s so weird! We’re in the middle of getting our all-vegetarian hot dog cart going (called RAD DOG!) because we too thought there was a lack of dogs in Cowtown (as well as vegetarian/vegan options). Columbus will be eating mass amounts of HOT DOGS this summer!
yay liz and harold!
Good dogs AND Frostop? That’s got “can’t miss” all over it. Can’t wait.
this…is…awesome…
my guess is at broad and high. and please stay open past 3 oclock for those of us who live downtown, cant cook… yet still like to eat when normal people do.
Best news ever. I do have hot dog envy. I welcome this more than anything else, I wish it was not downtown though, but whatever. I hope that picture is not of what they will actually be serving though.
sounds great!
What I don’t like about the “downtown lunch crowd” is that I’m not part of it.
But I guess since theres a bar included there will be evening hours?
PBR tallboys please.
