Florida is filled with exciting destinations and attractions to explore year-round. From thrilling theme parks to the sandy shores you will also find some of the finest dining in the nation.
Miami, Florida: The Franktitude
While Chicago may be know for great hotdogs, the Franktitude in Miami, Florida is one of our favorite stops when in town. (I've always enjoyed corn dogs.) Okay, a hotdog in any form is not on everyone's list of dining sensations they want to experience. Yet, if you're looking for something different, then try a salmon frank, a product manufactured in Chile. Franktitude is the only company in the U.S. that is authorized to sell the salmon frank.
Choose from four types of franks (beef, chicken, salmon and tofu), three types of buns (white, whole grain and poppy seed) and close to 30 toppings available , including wasabi mayonnaise and banana chips. At the Franktitude you can create you're hotdog to suit your taste.
In keeping with its traditional versus health-conscious options, Franktitude also offers salads, soups, fries, corn on the cob, coleslaw and even an ice cream dessert hot dog, called the Cool Dog.
Currently Franktitude has two locations. One is in downtown Miami at 21 NW Miami Court, Miami, FL 33128. The other is in Doral at 2600 NW 87th Ave. Suite 13, Doral, FL 33172.
