Mission Statement Redeeming Fast Food, One Frank at a Time At Franktuary, we believe in good food. Franktuary has transformed the humble frankfurter from its New York City street cart roots to serve it quickly, elegantly, and with a variety of fresh, creative toppings and sides. Essential to human life, good food is also the place where conversation, community, and nutrition meet. Franktuary's founders are always searching for a healthier, better tasting frank, and are soon to introduce an organic frankfurter made of grass-fed beef, raised without hormones or pesticides; ultimately, a frankfurter that is better for the farm animal, for the earth, and for you.
