About

Franks be to God! @franktuary

Story

Franktuary was founded in downtown Pittsburgh in 2004, when college friends Megan and Tim shelved their degrees and start- ed slinging franks from the basement of historic Trinity Cathedral. The duo have been serving their signature frankfurters for over a decade, topping them with locally sourced regional and ethnic condiments. Though they have left the cathedral basement behind, the spirit of the original Franktuary lives on in the mobile truck and two locations, Lawrenceville and Market Square, and, of course, in the name.

It's cool. Hot dogs were good and so are the fries with the garlic aioli sauce. Little bit pricey for hot dogs though four hot dogs two fries and a soft drink 30 plus dollars.

It took me a long time, but at long last I got to grab some grub from the Franktuary Truck last weekend. It admittedly took me a little while to get around to this because I'm not the biggest hot dog person. But after hearing so many rave reviews - and even tasting a friend's order of French fries at a Yelp event (they were delicious and perfectly done, by the way!), I gave their actual hot dogs a shot. And all I have to say is, yum! I got a grass fed beef hot dog and, since I was feeling adventurous, topped it off with onions and ketchup. (I say adventurous because I normally eat plain hot dogs on the rare occasions I do eat them.) Of course the hot dog itself was delicious - grass fed beef is miles ahead of the typical hot dog. But I was surprised by how much I liked the onions with it. Not that I dislike onions, but in my experience a lot of onion-topped hot dogs just don't taste good. I think a lot of onion topping is cooked to the point that there's no flavor left and the texture just ruins the hot dog for me. But not at the Franktuary Truck! I bet it was chopped and cooked not long before it made its way onto my meal. The result? My tasty beef hot dog was topped with fresh onions that tasted fresh and had a delightful crunch to them. So yep - the food is delicious and the prices are pretty darn reasonable for what you get (my hot dog was $4, a regular one is $3). I will absolutely keep an eye out for this food truck in the future - I'd love to try one of their specialty hot dogs soon. And I definitely want to try their poutine on a day that I can make it to the gym after I gorge myself!

Franktuary features the best high quality locally made hot dogs along with inventive items like garbanzo fries with delicious sauces. The variety includes vegetarian and gluten free options so friends of all dietary persuasions can dine together and be equally satisfied.

Supposedly the hot dogs are good. They just seem like hot dogs to me. I mean, yeah they're good hot dogs, but they're still hot dogs. I guess I'm just not a huge hot dog fan.
