Relive the Summit with Franktuary’s G20 Plummet Scavenger Hunt!

How do I play this game, eh?

1. Find clues each day via twitter.com/franktuary or the right sidebar of franktuary.com. Search the interwebs for answers, which means you can play this game from your office chair and it will look like you are “working”.

2. Keep track of your answers. Friday we’ll furnish you with an algorithm to unlock the secret G20 words you will then use to compose a haiku.

3. Top three scorers earn the prizes below, and best haikus will be posted to franktuary.com and in our store. Points will be assigned based on completion, creativity, and correctness.

What do I get??

Third Prize: the official G20 Plummet t-shirt and frankfurter (a $20.09 value!)
Second Prize: the official G20 Plummet t-shirt, frankfurter, and $10 gift certificate (a $30.09 value!)
First Prize: ZIP TIE ESCAPE and a round-trip MegaBus ticket to a location of our choosing (an inestimable value!)

I want some rules!

We’re not very good a “rules” here at Franktuary – here are some guidelines for your scavenging success.

1. Have fun and be creative.
2. You may work with teammates, but you will have to split the prize.
3. Your end-of-hunt Haiku must follow traditional Haiku form though you may use the English language.

Happy Hunting!

Recently it was suggested to me that Franktuary begin offering a frankfurter with pulled pork on top of it. Maybe some pickles too.

Anyone out there have thoughts about this concept? I’d like to hear ‘em!

July is almost over, and we at Franktuary thank everyone who made National Hot Dog Month successful here in downtown Pittsburgh. That would be you, customers! Keep buying those Locavores, and we’ll continue with our effort to “redeem fast food one frank at a time.”

National Hot Dog Month. Celebrate at Franktuary. Try the new Locavore.

The other day I rode the 61B out of downtown. One of my fellow passengers was, in fact, a bee.

It’s funny how such a small creature can create such a ruckus. Pandemonium in the back of the bus is what happened. I’ve never seen so many people anxious to give up their seat on a crowded public transportation vessel.

The introduction of the Locavore and bees on the bus. Two of the many reasons summer in Pittsburgh is special!

Off from work? Celebrating the 4th on the early side? Kick off your weekend with lunch at Franktuary. NOTHING you do today could be more American. And by NOTHING I mean NOTHING.

So, make your forefathers proud. Make Barack, W, and even Nancy Pelosi smile. Come downtown and try a Locavore. It’s ORGANIC, LOCAL, GRASS-FED GOODNESS.

Oh, and for your inconvenience, Franktuary will be closed on Monday July 6.

Debuting tomorrow, the Locavore is an organic, nitrate-free, grass-finished, locally-raised, fifth-of-a-pound frankfurter. Simply said, it’s one sensational sausage!

During the month of July the Locavore can be purchased for a special introductory price of only $4.25. Supplies are limited in the early-going, so visit sooner than later and be among the first folks in Pittsburgh to experience this very special tubesteak!

Franktuary has been voted Pittsburgh’s “Best Downtown Lunch Spot” for the second consecutive year. Now Franktuary is the proud owner of two shiny, decorative plates. When your staff looks as good as this, the sky’s the limit!

Recently, Franktuary has been made aware of a product called “Snuggles.” This self-proclaimed “ultimate fun roll” is intriguing. Read more about it here and then share your thoughts.

How much fun can a Snuggle provide? Would you be more excited about Franktuary if you knew there’d be a Snuggle with every visit? Is this just a silly marketing ploy from a bakery looking to make an extra buck, or the start of a full-blown sausage revolution? Is Snuggles the bear, champion of fabric softener, considering a trademark lawsuit? Is said bear directly related to Teddy Ruxbin? I want answers, people.

Not long ago I visited a fabulous little hot dog place in Brooklyn called Willie’s Dawgs. Why? Because they serve a grass-fed frankfurter, something Franktuary would like to incorporate into its own menu.

So there I was in New York City. Can you guess what the topic of conversation was at the table next to me? A place in Pittsburgh called Franktuary. For the record, the people next to me were strangers, though that’s not the case anymore!
