Nathan’s dinner beef franks are large hot dogs made by Nathan’s Famous, a company that owns a chain of restaurants and sells precooked beef franks in grocery stores and markets in many different areas. Nathan’s dinner beef franks are named dinner franks because of their large size, and most people will be able to eat only one, making a hot dog a full meal. Serve Nathan’s dinner beef franks with your favorite toppings like mustard, onions, pickles, tomato slices, sauerkraut, relish or any combination you desire.
