Yeah, props for the fried leeks and for the general creativity. Sadly, mature milk products don't agree with me, so I won't be able to evaluate the cream cheese + hot dog offerings, which are the most eyebrow-raising on the menu. But sriracha, here I come....

Is DF open? I read in last week's TOP that it was to open Monday (with any luck).

We ran into a snag with last week's fire suppression (hood) inspection. Here's a new one: apparently all kitchen equipment has to be tethered to the wall! Why? In case of an earthquake! In downtown Columbus. Yes, a possible earthquake has delayed us this time.
Anyway, we didn't pass last Thursday due to the non-tethered kitchen equipment (none of our other restaurants have equipment tethered to the walls making them less safe in case of earthquake-fyi). We immediately tethered the equipment and we are being re-inspected tomorrow.
After tomorrow's inspection, we have our final health inspection by the Columbus Health Department and upon passing that, we will open.
We are very eager and excited to serve you Vienna All-Beef Kosher Hot Dogs, Veggie Dogs, Frostop Root Beer on draught, Jeni's Ice Cream for Frostop Root Beer Floats and Lime and Cherry Slushies-spiked with booze if you please. Some fun beers on draught and plenty of delicious sides.
Walker is headed in to take some photos of the interior to post later this week and we will post here as soon as we open. The first week we will open at 4pm, then open regular hours starting at 11am.
Thank you kindly, everyone, for your patience and positive vibes. We have needed them!

I would love to start my weekend of painting hell part 2 after a "few" boozie slushies. I can be present for slipping some Benjamins to inspectors if needed. Enough already with the red tape, let's get this thing moving!!

Alright Liz! You and Harold are running the final lap now. It's looking really nice inside - very Elizabethish with all your wall decorations. The retrofit items from City Center look great in there. I appreciate your demolition purchases. It means the World to me just to know that a little bit of City Center will live on in Dirty Franks.
I'm looking forward to the grand opening.

A curious view in Dirty Frank's, last Saturday night as I left work. Chairs were brought in during the day.

I'm gonna plunk down a decent amount of dough here, provided I can squeeze my way in. Anyone else notice that for the first week she's going open the place at 4:00PM, Downtown, and we're talking Columbus. Liz has some moxy! If only more new entrepreneurs were so daring, while offering a great product too, of course, Downtown would be a much more interesting place after five. Although, there's already a small amount of things if you know where to look.

Blazing the trail is always harder than following the trailblazer. There may already be a few things open downtown late nights, but I certainly can't name them, and certainly none that look to be in this league. Hopefully this not only does well but starts enticing other establishments already down there into extending their hours as well, and luring new establishments into the neighborhood as well. However, that might yet be raising expectations a little high for one restaurant, however much buzz it's generating. Just be happy with some good eats. The rest will follow.
