Franks 'N' Dawgs Information

Franks 'N' Dawgs is not a hot dog joint—it's a gourmet sausage restaurant specializing in house made artisan sausages. And the cheapest fine-dining establishment you'll find in Chicago, to boot. In its twelve-month tenure, it has not only made an impact on the Chicago dining scene, but has also secured spots on The Food Network, The Cooking Channel (twice), the Travel Channel as well as local spots on 190 North and Chicago's Best. High-end Chef de Cuisine, Joe Doren, is creating his own delectable range of gourmet sausages in-house using only prime cuts of meats and serving them up on French-style buns that are baked fresh daily, buttered, and gently toasted. Chef Doren has worked around Chicago at such hotspots as Blackbird and Sixteen (Trump International Hotel), and we want you to walk away saying, “It’s five-star dining but served on a bun". It’s very Chicago, but it’s very different and we think you find your first experience to be great, really great!
