FRANCHISE GUIDE

THE VERY FIRST FANCY FRANKS RESTAURANT OPENED IN 2012 AT 326 COLLEGE ST IN TORONTO, ACROSS FROM THE VERY COOL KENSIGNTON MARKET; WITH THE VISION OF APPEALING TO EVERYONE AND BRINGING A LITTLE NEW YORK TASTE TO CANADA. THE MAIN GOAL IS SIMPLY TO CREATE DELICIOUS, LOCALLY SOURCED HOT DOGS THAT WOULD PLEASE EVEN THE PICKIEST OF EATERS. FROM A GREEK SALAD ON A HOT DOG FRANKATHENAPOLIS TO THE NOW POPULAR FANCY 90210 WITH AVOCADO, TOMATO AND BACON, THERE IS A SPECIAL THEMED HOT DOG FOR EVERYONE. THESE KOSHER STYLE HOT DOGS ARE HAND TWISTED WITH 100% ALL BEEF SHOULDER-CUT MEAT THEN HOUSED IN AN ALL-NATURAL LAMB CASING, AND MANY OF THE SIGNATURE TOPPINGS ARE MADE IN-HOUSE. I AM VERY PROUD OF THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD AT EVERY FANCY FRANKS RESTAURANT AND KNOW THAT AFTER YOU VE TRIED A FANCY FRANKS HOG DOG YOU WON T LOOK AT FAST FOOD THE SAME WAY AGAIN!
