Let's Be Frank Hot Dogs seem to be on the rise. These frankfurters have been featured in articles in LA Weekly, Food & Wine, Gourmet, Chow, and The New York Times. Maybe they are so much on the radar because they opened a cart recently in LA (Dec. 2007). Maybe they have a great PR firm... But does a hot dog cart deserve so much attention? Maybe, if this hot dog cart is really the precursor to a fast food empire. It may happen. Let's be Frank is growing fast.
I had my first Let's-Be-Frank yesterday at a Memorial Day BBQ and was very pleased. The dog was long and thin, flavorful, and the casing was crisp. I was doubly pleased when I found out that these dogs are healthier than your average dog. They are made with 100% grass fed beef, have no nitrates, no hormones, and are lower in calories than other comparable hot dogs (170 calories, 13 grams of fat per dog compared with 240 cals and 22 grams of fat for a Dodger Dog). 
I am interested in trying the dogs directly from the cart. I will be taking a trip to Helms Bakery where the Los Angeles cart resides. Check out this great review from one of my favorite food blogs, the Eat, Drink, and Be Merry Blog.

Hi All! Larry from Let's Be Frank sent me this info...
1. We just started Frank Fridays at ATT Park in SF serving our dogs every Friday from 11:30 to 2pm game or no game, and 2. We cater parties, just did two this weekend in LA, so our cart is ready to roll.
Get your dogs on!
It made me happy to provide the dogs. I tried to follow the same preparation as the cart -- steam first, then grill for flavor -- but ended up overgrilling, which, I have to say, completely changed the flavor of the dog. "Changed," I say, without value judgement:
On the cart, the just-done dogs have a bite and a snap that is very pleasurable -- it fills my mouth with the juices of the beef. It's a very good way of making these dogs.
Overgrilling, while different, was no less great. The dog split, which, of course, released much of the juice into the gril. But what we got instead was a very nice grill flavor that I enjoy a lot.
You can't beat this dog, no matter how you cook it.
Dogs accomplished. I met Todd at the bakery and had one on the cart. I liked the grilled onions hand cooked by Sue, the owner. I also liked the company, several foodies with good tips for future blogs.
I also enjoyed the dogs at the memorial BBQ. But for some reason our host only broke out 8 dogs for nine people + two toddlers. Something about the package only holding 8 (whatever). My girls kept asking for hot dog and I was very reluctant to share. They are very lucky I care for them so much, or it would have been all hot dog for daddy...
Next time I will bring more dogs.
I will also try not to overgrill them.
My favorite packaged hot dogs these days are Fearless beef franks from Niman Ranch, which come either "cured" or "uncured." The "uncured" variety is actually cured in spices and smoked, but is made without nitrates, so it tastes fairly similar to the "cured" ones, but might not have the same shelf life. I'd go for the "uncured."

I have taught in the public school system for the past nine years, and during that time, my opinion regarding whether students should wear uniforms has changed dramatically. In the beginning, because I thought a student's "right" to express his/her individuality outweighed the school district's desire for uniformity in dress, I was adamantly opposed to uniforms. However, after years of looking at drooping "drawers", "cascading" cleavage, and bulging buttocks that were either wearing the same underwear I'd seen for several consecutive days or nothing that could actually be called underwear, I have reached the conclusion that uniforms are, indeed, a necessity "evil" that should and must be "inflicted" Brand New Mulberry Oversized Alexa Leather Satchel Red Bag in cheap price Reebonz Australia offers discount on our students...
