Frank Gourmet Hot Dogs

Dipping Sauces | $7.99-$9.99

This Kenmore spot is way more than delicious dogs. No matter your order, the house-made dipping sauces are a pairing must for its perfectly crispy fries—and now Frank is offering its top sellers collection.

Joker Sauce: It’s like a Big Mac sauce, but with the volume turned way up. This rich-with-a-kick creation is a menu staple: There’s a Joker dog, burger, veggie burger and fried chicken sandwich.

Blueberry BBQ Sauce: Inspired by Violet Beauregarde from “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” this BBQ sauce combines sweet and savory flavors with a hint of blueberry.

Fry Sauce: It’s gluten-free and goes on everything! Frank’s fry sauce is that balanced blend of sweet and tangy, made with ketchup, mayonnaise and spices.

Salt & Vinegar Aioli: Frank’s classic aioli started on its food truck back in 2013 and is still in high demand. Salty and vinegary, it packs a punch.

Moriarty Meats

Gourmet Mustard | $6 or $18

A secret mustard recipe passed down to the Moriarty kids from their mom, butcher Tom Moriarty’s sister Kathleen Moriarty Flemming keeps this sweet, spicy and tangy tradition going. Made with vinegar, eggs, butter, peppers and sugar, it’s a staple on several menu items at the Moriarty Cafe Bar, adjacent to the French butchery, like the ham and mustard on a crostini.
