Dan and Jenn Northcutt of Frank: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
With the Fourth of July around the corner, it’s officially hot dog season in Austin, but at Frank, it’s hot dog season every day of the year.
Dan and Jenn Northcutt are among the owners of the hot dogs-and-so-much-more restaurant in the Warehouse District, and as a chef, Dan gets credit for most of the inventive dishes on the menu. (I featured the fridge of fellow co-owner Geoff Peveto last year.)
At Frank, they serve more than a dozen hot dogs and sausages, all of which are either made in house or at Hudson’s Sausage Company on South Congress Avenue. (They just added Sonoran hot dogs, which are wrapped in bacon and deep-fried and topped with everything from beans to jalapeño sauce.)
Frank is one of the few places in town where you can get poutine year-round (that’ll make the Canadians happy), and I, for one, could make a meal out of their corn cup, made with grilled corn, cotija cheese, cilantro and lime juice.
