Using a pillowy bun as a barrier, franks are safely protected from environmental hazards, such as open manholes and greasy-handed schoolchildren. Enjoy snugly shielded meats with today’s Groupon: for $12, you get three 12-ounce packages of franks (four franks per pack) made of grass-fed and pasture-raised meat from Let’s Be Frank on Steiner Street (a $22.50 value). This premium doggery delivers meats that hail from humane roots. By boycotting the use of hormones, steroids, and antibiotics for animals and rejecting nitrates when crafting their products, Let’s Be Frank puts a little hint of love inside of every casing. Your Groupon is good only at the Steiner Street store (not valid at the cart locations) for of any three of the following varieties:

• The Frank Dog: uncured, grass-fed beef franks born, raised, and encased locally. Ergonomically shaped for buns’ troughs and organically spiced for tongue troughs.
• The Brat Dog: family-farmed pork bratwurst with a rich familial upbringing. Like all other dogs, they’re free from nitrites, hormones, and other fillers, but Brat Dogs are humble, and never brag like brats.
• The “Hot” Dog: same family-farmed pork as “The Brat Dog,” but with an Italian-sausage injection of garlic, herbs, and smoky spices. Dances delightfully with Let’s Be Frank’s devil sauce, a spicy blend of peppers, ginger, garlic, and other fiery features.
• The Bird Dog: mild-flavored turkey dog raised in the Sierra foothills. Walks like a dog, tastes like a turkey, and is easily eaten with a turkey-shaped hand.

Founders Sue Moore and Larry Bain started Let’s Be Frank with their vision for a healthier fast-food alternative to the traditional fat-filled dog, instead offering 100% grass-fed hot dogs that are lower in sodium and fat, and filled with omega-3 fatty acid. They decided to “return the much-demeaned hot dog to its rightful position: an icon for a healthy food system.” Salute the hardworking local farmers that Sue and Larry partner so closely with and savor each pop and sizzle on your grill this summer.

There is a generous maximum of three Groupons per customer. Customers may also mix and match any packaged 12-ounce varieties during a single Groupon redemption.
