” … And, even before its opening, Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace — the fourth venture for Columbus restaurateur Elizabeth Lessner — boasts 168 Facebook friends, 461 Twitter followers and endless, giddy chatter on Internet message boards… “

” The big debut of Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace (248 S. Fourth Street) is right around the corner. No, seriously this time. Everything that could possibly go amuck has already gotten mucked up. Think it’s easy to open a restaurant? Tell that to industry veteran, Liz Lessner.
Cuz it takes more than duct table.
As it turns out, Dirty Frank’s reasonable-looking address was in need of an extra makeover. Liz details the horrifying process of discovery, “We thought the space needed a fresh coat of paint, but it was, in fact, out-of-code in just about every aspect imaginable.” Her story ends in this magical phrase: gutted to the studs…. “
and then there is the ever tidbits to be found in there twitter feed

such as
“old wood floors being sanded, stained and shined.”
“too rainy to paint so we are setting up payroll, going through last minute applications and running down to get our vendor’s license.”
“experimenting w/ some cool turkish and greek relishes today…spicy!”
It’s been nearly a year since Dirty frank’s project started and it looks like the end of this month of beginning of next it should finally finally come to fruition.
