Buffalo's favorite excuse
to gather.
Curated tasting experiences featuring gourmet hot dogs, local products, and Franklin-approved pairings, delivered straight from Western New York.
Hosted, naturally, by Franklin von Drank.
Part maître d', part old Buffalo charm, all confidence. Franklin isn't a mascot. He's the room. He sets the table, pours the first round, and makes sure every evening feels a little more worth remembering.
Not a meal. An occasion.
At Franks & Dranks, we believe great food deserves a little ceremony.
Every box is built around the flavors, makers, and traditions that make Buffalo special. Whether it's date night, game day, a gift, or a table full of friends, we make it easy to host something worth remembering.
Three rounds. One box. Endless opinions.
The Opener
Every great evening starts somewhere familiar.
The Turn
A little bolder. A little louder.
The Closer
The one everyone argues about.
Every Box
Franklin shows up.
The experience doesn't always arrive in a box. Sometimes it arrives at a firehouse, a backyard, a client event, or a table full of people looking for an excuse to stay a little longer.
