Additional details provided by that reviewer will be inflated at best, but more likely outright hyperbole. Expect irrelevant statements to be added in an attempt to bolster their position by painting the restaurant in a more negative light. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dirty-franks-hotdogs/page/38#post-392279 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 09:54:55 +0000 ohiogirlie74 392279@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>Taz Devil <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dirty-franks-hotdogs/page/38#post-392268">said</a>:</cite><br /> Well, then don't go to Franks that is for sure.

DQ has an awesomely rad website, and they probably don't use frozen onion rings. If you like the Frostop, then, call it DF's Frostop Palace and quit yer bitchin'!! You just going there for root-beers is probably totally fine by all of everyone! Good luck finding a restaurant that's going to please all the people all of the time, for as cheap as some of you haters seem to expect. I, for one, love that DF's exists, and go there often, even though it's always a little better in my memory than it is in reality when I'm eating it -- and I still think it's darn awesome. Good luck getting cream cheese and olives on a dog at the DQ. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dirty-franks-hotdogs/page/38#post-392271 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 09:42:55 +0000 dmiranjr 392271@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>Wow.

It's not the hot dog that people stand in line for, although the dogs themselves are very good. It's the variety of toppings that you can get, and tater tots. I'd wait in line all day for fresh tater tots. DF's is one of my favorite places to eat because it's cheap, it's fun and it's good. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/dirty-franks-hotdogs/page/38#post-392249 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 08:42:23 +0000 aaminian 392249@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>Update: just wanted to let everyone know that Liz reached out to me directly via email with an apology and a generous offer to make things right.
