America's Best Selling Condiment???

Did you guess mustard? Perhaps my photo threw you off. While my answer would be mustard, that's net even close.

Did you guess ketchup? Great guess, but ketchup isn't even in second place.

I'll give you a hint...if you order America's best selling condiment on your hot dog, I will reluctantly put it on your dog, but it will go on the bun before the hot dog. Why, because I don't even want to see it (let alone have other customers see it) so I'll hide it as much as possible.

Did you guess it yet?

I dislike this condiment so much, I'm not going to tell you the answer here. You'll have to click this link to find the answer.

If you want this condiment on your hot dog just ask, but please don't ask me to put it on top of the dog. We aim to please (which is why we will put ketchup on a hot dog even if you're more than 8 years old), but we don't have to like it.

Frankly, we serve the BEST mustard!

Hot Dog Wars Move to the Court Room

In a fight over the best hot dog, Sara Lee (maker of Ball Park Franks) and Kraft Foods (maker of Oscar Mayer) have taken their BEEF to the courts.

The arguments center around a hot dog taste test which Oscar Mayer claims to have won. Sara Lee has claimed that the taste test was deeply flawed for a variety of reasons.

My questions is this...How can you possibly have a national taste test for the best hot dog and leave out the very best hot dog made by Hummel Bros. for Yank's Franks?

I have had many Ball Park Franks and many Oscar Mayer Wieners. Those hot dogs are very good, but they are not even close to Hummel Bros. No wonder they kept Hummel out of their test.

We've said it before and we'll say it again...

Frankly, WE serve the BEST dogs!

The Hot Dog Man pulled into the Yank's Franks parking lot at about noon last Friday. He and Mrs. HDM unloaded their fancy, schmancy video equipment from their vehicle and proceeded to snap photos and conduct interviews for his Yank's Franks review.

Frankly, we can't wait to see the final result.

Yank's Franks Scores High In "New England's Best Hot Dog" Poll

Yank's Franks takes second place in the voting for New England's Best Hot Dog. Not bad for a "hot dog joint" that opened less than a year ago.

Yank's was up against some of the toughest competition in New England.

Connecticut alone is home to some amazing hot dog joints (after all it was a Connecticut Hot Dog Joint that was the inspiration behind Yank's) scattered all over the State.

Rhode Island has great places and has their own method of serving dogs, oddly enough called New York System Weiners. Yank's Franks customers from Rhode Island rave about them.


Maine has the old stand by Flo's one of this year's nominees and winner last year.

Anyway, this isn't about the other hot dog joints, this article is about the wonderful people that voted for Yank's Franks in this year's NECN poll , Baby You're the Best!

Thank you all for taking the time to vote for Yank's Franks, it is very much appreciated.

Frankly, Yank's Franks has the BEST customers!
