Frank Goodness

Franktuary is giving everyone 2 more weeks to submit an application for customer or the year. I love that they select a customer of the year. What a great way to support the hot dog eaters of Pittsburgh. If you are selected customer of the year you are rewarded with free meal every week for the next year – tasty!

Additionally – another great holiday gift recommendations – Franktuary gift certificates. Support your local hot dog shop while showering your friends and family with tasty gifts.
