The term "gourmet" (insert thing here) gets used to death, so rather than call it 'gourmet hot dogs' I'll just call it 'crazy original hotdogs'. Using some fresh ingredients and unique flavours, Frank & Beanz is a great lil' hot dog joint recently opened up at the new Majura Shopping Centre near the airport. Sure they don't serve up hot dogs as cheap as Costco next door, though you do get what you pay for:D
I've tried several of the dogs, from the 'All American' with a Wagyu beef frank with mustard, ketchup, onions and cheese, to the signature 'Frank' with corn and pineapple salsa on a Chorizo sausage with smashed avacado, cheese and jalapeno sauce, all quite tasty indeed. A new addition was the special 'Sunday Roast' dog with a lamb sausage, roast potatoes, onions, peas and gravy which was fantastic.
They also do fantastic mexican, with soft shell tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
Initially I found at times the dogs were a lil' dry and overcooked, but my last few visits have been very good and I think they've ironed out the early kinks on opening. Pretty inexpensive and filling, it's a great unique alternative to th hum drum that staple fast food has become. Give it a whirl! read more
