Mild, meaty chili is just one of the extras you can have the kitchen put on the hot dog before it is served. Others include bacon, sauerkraut, cheese, lettuce and tomato.

For the sake of the picture, we left this Swanky Frank temporarily undressed.  Note how taut the skin is.  Straight from its hot-oil bath, it is ready to burst open at first bite.  First, please pass the mustard...

Crispy-skinned, deep-fried, split and grilled hot dog fresh from the grill.

A Swanky Frank dog topped with the house relish and crisp raw onions and served in a bun warmed on the grill. Great eating! It is possible to pay extra to have your wiener split and grilled rather than fried.

The closer I get to the bottom of the basket, the more I like Swanky Frank's French fries. This is where all the crunchy bits and squiggles of potato are found. And yes, I DO like a lot of salt on my fries!

Swanky Frank is as convenient as Roadfood can be:  at the end of the exit ramp (Exit 14) off I-95.
