If ketchup and mustard are like jeans and a t-shirt to a hot dog, then Surfranks dogs are dressed in tuxedos. After graduating from Hot Dog University in Chicago, Jolie Castellucci and Don Ross brought their degree in 'hot dogology' home to the surf and sand of San Diego and voila- Surfranks Gourmet Hot Dogs opened at the La Jolla Open Aire Market.

Surfranks start with a premium beef Vienna hot dog and then the fun begins. The Dog Paddle features homemade avocado sauce, bacon and crunchy potato chips, making it one of their most popular dogs. Another foodie favorite is The Seafoam with whipped cream cheese, caramelized onions and a dollop of Plochman's Chicago Fired Mustard. If breakfast is your desire, your taste buds will rise and shine with their delicious Dawn Patrol, an egg scramble with or without hot dogs and accompanied by all of the fixens you desire. If you savor spice, try their Fred Dog (with a bite). The jalapeno and cheddar premium beef frank will call your name on Sundays. If you crave a hot dog without all of the pomp and circumstance, order their Hang Ten, a hot dog with the basic toppings, or none at all if you prefer. Surfranks also offers The Green Wave, a veggie dog, available with any of their toppings.

Don't forget to look for Surfranks Dog of the Day. Who will it be named after and what will it be: Lindsay Lohan? Mel Gibson? Brett Favre? Surfranks creates new toppings and combinations each week.

At Surfranks, enjoy biting humor, a warm smile and a one-of-a-kind gourmet taste. Come check them out!
