Holy Frankenkraut!


Street food at its finest! Went to La Brea tar pits on Saturday and was fortunate enough to experience Franken's hot dog stand. Delish! Franken's is a haunted street cart selling plant-based dogs. The cart has great marketing and design- even stored the extra supplies in "100% all beef patty" cardboard boxes. The owner/server had on a smart outfit too- black and white striped dress shirt, suspenders, black skinny jeans and a top hat with a little bone sewn on it. I tried all three dogs offered- the wolf-yum, the witch- yum but a little small for the bun, and the franken- yum. The toppings were spot on- sauerkraut, jalapeƱos, pickles, relish, onions, cilantro. Also fab sauces for endless combinations- ketchup, bbq, spicy and yellow mustards, vegenaise, and HOT SAUCE! yes, hot sauce- thank you, franken's. Great experience to eat spooky dogs amid plants from the Ice Age and mammoth mannequins.
If they only had plant-based spooky cats for dessert the meal would have been untouchable.
