You guys seem pretty new on the market, how long have you been operating?
We’re really new, we’ve been operating for a few months now at a couple of events but have had plenty of experience at creating and eating dogs.
What makes Franklins the best dogs in town?
Franklins’ dogs are the best in town because we make all our toppings from scratch with authentic recipes that have been used in the States for years. Our sausages are made to our liking with the guidelines we give the butcher and our bread is sourced from a bakery with over 60 years experience in doing what they do best.
Where do you source your ingredients from?
We could tell you but we may have to kill you or you could just come down and try one.
What makes a good hotdog?
A good hotdog starts with a great sausage. As everyone knows; sausages can be really good or really bad. Bread quantity is also crucial as too little will ensure you end up with sauce all over your top and too much will leave you high and dry.
So you serve hotdogs, what else?
We also serve great fries; we have four varieties of toppings for them too. Watch out for the chili salsa fries, they’re bangin’.
Give us a ‘taste’ of what to expect at Coburg, what’s gonna be on the menu?
There are a few staples on the menu; dog, cheese, tomato, sauce, mustard. We also have a few for people who like something adventurous; dog, grilled bacon, sauerkraut, mustard and pickle; and of course our fries – garlic, cheese and chili salsa.
It’s your last meal on earth, what are you going to eat?
Nothing beats slowed-cooked pork baby backs ribs and, of course, a side of our fries.
FRANKLINS will be dishing up classic American hotdogs at the Coburg Night Market every Friday until December 19 at Bridges Reserve, Coburg. Entry is free.
