Frankie's Franks Hot Dogs St. Augustine

Nothing beats a classic dirty-water dog loaded with sauerkraut & spicy brown mustard on a potato roll — straight from Staten Island to sunny St. Augustine!

I’m Frankie, owner of Frankie's Franks Hot Dogs. The Navy brought me to Florida, and in June 2022 we finally fired up the cart after years of dreaming. I wanted to keep it simple: authentic Sabrett hot dogs, snacks & ice-cold drinks — a real NYC street cart experience on the First Coast!

Starting wasn’t easy; college baseball injuries, brutal NYC rent, loans piling up, two years of late nights, and juggling a day job(s) before we flipped our first dog in 2022.

Thinking of starting your own food business? I see you. The goal of this page is to highlight some of the success, and many of the failures I previously and continue to endure so that you don't have to. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the content!
