Let’s Be Frank

I got The hot dog with grilled onions, mustard, and devil sauce. Loved every bite and it was up there in top hot dogs I’ve ever had in my life. As much as I love top dog in Berkeley, this place is up there too.

Got a «Hot» Dog and added the «devil sauce». Yummy.

THIS is why I love the city. I was walking around Hayes valley when I stumbled upon a guy cooking dogs and singing Kumbaya. His happy-​go-​luckiness was infectious and I had to stop to have a beef.
I got some special «Frank» sauce and grilled onions on top, and I was blown away by the first bite. Let’s Be Frank uses high quality ingredients and cooks their dogs to perfection. The grilled onions were juicy, sweet and came in big flat chunks. Just how I like them. I’m not sure what was in the sauce… but it was damn good.
The only caveat for me is the price — I’m so used to $ 3.00 Top Dog in Berkeley that I cringed a bit at the ~$ 5 I pulled out of my wallet. But… so worth it.

I miss the old stand in the Mission where I used to get my Italian Beef. However this smaller stand has your basic hot dogs. Right down the way from Blue Bottle and Smitten, you could make a meal and dessert right there with mostly temp/​kiosk style vendors. A quality quick meal for $ 5.50 is almost unheard of these days.
