Franks-A-Lot
Franks-A-Lot, or Franks A Lot, is a hot dog restaurant in Portland, Oregon. Previously, the business operated as The Dog House. Description 

Franks-A-Lot is a restaurant in the Whole Foods parking lot on East Burnside Street in the Kerns neighborhood. Housed in a small A-frame cottage, the restaurant has "always focused on quick, take-away, drive-thru dogs", according to Thrillist. The menu has included the Great American Frank, the Long Wiener Frank (a longer version of a standard hot dog), and Chicago-style hot dogs with or without toppings, as well as German sausages, polish hot dogs, and vegetable franks. The Jumbo American has sweet-hot mustard, jalapeños, and sauerkraut. There are vegan options as well. In 2014, Samantha Bakall of The Oregonian said the restaurant "has the vibe of a Chicago joint" and described the Chicago-style hot dog as an "all-beef frank topped with yellow mustard, relish, cucumbers, red onions, sport peppers, fresh tomato slices and celery salt". In 2022, Nathan Williams of Eater Portland described the cottage as "faux-Bavarian" and said the business serves "jumbo-sized" hot dogs and hand-made milkshakes. There are seven outdoor tables for seating, only one of which is covered, as of 2022. History
