Dining the news: Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace conquered Village Coney in the final round of our Columbus hot dog bracket, earning 69% of your votes.
- Check out the full, finished bracket below.
State of play: The brand's popularity can't be confined to its cozy downtown location that opened in 2009. Recently, stands debuted at Lower.com Field, Huntington Park, Ohio Stadium and the casino.
- The restaurant opened a Worthington carryout in January and also has a food truck.
💠My thought bubble: With vegan options and nearly 50 customizable toppings, no one walks away hungry from Frank's. Most dogs cost under $5, so take risks and try a few.
- Popular picks: Cowgirl Carmen (coney sauce, cheddar and Fritos), Chicago-style (with relish, sport peppers and more) and Hot Tot-cho (tots, jalapeños, cheese and onions).
- My favorite custom creation: a pickle spear, ranch dressing, potato chips and celery salt ($5.25)
Pro tip: Upgrade to the jumbo dog (+$2) if you're extra hungry — but don't forget to leave room for mac and cheese bites ($7.25), fries or tots ($3.95).
Stop by: 248 S. Fourth St. Hours vary.
