Frank's Franks

19 August, 2022

We are excited to present one of our Wellington on a Plate pop-up events, Frank's Franks! Inspired by the endless and uncomplicated street food sausage options of Germany, Frank’s Franks was born in Berlin with New York in mind.

Frank’s Franks are generous, satisfying, and lip-smackingly luscious, serving up the best of the brat, including their best wurst - an Island Bay Butchery frank, Esther's sauerkraut and bread 'n' butter pickles, Al Brown's Old Yella habanero mustard, cheese and t-sauce all nestled in a Shelly Bay overnight fermented roll.

Frank-ly bangin’ bangers, and perfectly matched with a special collab beer from Heyday Beer Co. Prost!
