Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace in Columbus, Ohio
Hi hotdoglover,
We prepare the dogs traditional Chicago style and steam them at 140 degrees. If we cooked them any hotter we would damage the thick natural casing and the hot dog would lose it's snap. The buns are also steamed and come out warm, soft and pillowy.
Kbear919,
Yep, we've added funnel cakes to the menu! Hope you try them, they are made to order and taste like the fair!

Thanks so much for featuring us, SeriousEats, we are seriously honored!
Paul F, our casings are in fact all natural, we use all beef Vienna Franks from Chicago, you can view more of our trip to their factory where we watched the hot dogs being stuffed:

also, next time you are in you might enjoy our hand-battered fried leeks.
Nemis, hold tight, we are working on the cheese situation as I type! I hope you do come back sometime, feel free to email me at elizabeth@bettyscolumbus.com and I'd be happy to send you a gift certificate for your troubles.
Thanks to everyone for such kind comments-most of them anyway!
