Day 53 - Frank

There is a hot dog restaurant in Austin called Frank the Ben has been wanting to try for the last year.  A couple of weeks ago we were talking about it and the next day there was a Google Offer for it!  Hooray!  We used tonight in preparation for being homebound by the baby.  While a little overpriced, it was pretty stinking good.  

We got an order of fried pickles called the "Britney Spears". Some of the best fried pickles we have had in town.  Their bacon ranch was killer.

I had the Franko Cristo. "A 100% Vienna Beef dog split stuffed with white American, wrapped with bacon and deep fried, dropped in a bun with strawberry jam and ham, dunked in French toast batter and grilled till golden brown."    Yes, it was delicious. No, it was not diabetic approved.  However, my blood sugar was under the "bad number" when I tested it.  Woohoo! 

Ben had The Southern Boy. "A blackened hot link split down the middle and grilled. Served in a pretzel bun dressed with caramelized onions, crispy pork belly, pepper jack cheese and our Dublin Dr. Pepper bbq sauce."  He said it was spicy but really good.

Sam had waffle fries.  I didn't take a photo because he ate them way too fast.  :)

After dinner I told Ben places like this are yet one more reason I'm going to cry if we ever leave Austin.
