Restaurant Roundup: Hot dog cart's return, pizza hunt, Easter …

March 30, 2023 The hot dog cart Let Me Frank is back to serving food this year, and its first event is this week. Owner Comet Kamolo Buum suspended operations last year a few months after starting the business.

Friday, Let Me Be Frank will be at J&L Harley-Davidson’s first Bike Night of the year. New this year is The Gut Buster, an all-beef hot dog loaded with mac-and-cheese, all-meat chili and cheese. The event will be inside the dealership at 2601 W.

60th St. N. from 6 to 8 p.m. Whiskey Rich will provide live music.

Buum will be at all of J&L’s Bike Nights, and he plans to follow more of a set schedule for lunch hours this season: Tuesdays, west-side Runnings; Wednesdays, Nyberg’s Ace at 12th and Kiwanis; Thursdays, east-side Runnings; Fridays, Fridays on the Plaza, which start in May. Sunny’s Pizzeria starts its monthlong pizza hunt Saturday.

The neighborhood pizza shop hides tokens across town and offers one clue per day before noon in the form of a photo posted on Facebook and Instagram. The token is good for a free medium pizza. Owner Jon Oppold started the promotion in the spring of 2020 when the pandemic started.

Flyboy Donuts has fun every year with April Fools’ Day. This year’s prank is a box of crumbs and sprinkles – but it also comes with a real box of fresh doughnuts or a gift card.
