Recipe: Franks Island Skewer

So here it comes, faster than a speeding bullet...it's Labor Day weekend! I know that summer has been a quick hot one, and for some...too hot! I suppose that sitting in an air conditioned home doesn't lend itself to grilling outside, but there is always the stove top grill! Here in Seattle we are enjoying our summer, and though at the start of August we only had something like 78 hours of "summer weather", now my lawn is brown in places. "Beggars can't be choosers," mama always said.


Chef Stephen Holtz did this recipe in celebration of summer. It is incredible, simple and is cooked and served on a stick. Tasty and fun, not much more you can ask in regards to food.


Ingredients:
3 Field Roast Franks
1/2 fresh cut pineapple
1 fresh cut Banana
Skewers
Thai Sweet Chili Sauce to dip (optional)


Clip and peel the Franks, slice on the bias into bite sized chunks, as well as the pineapple and banana. Spear them alternately with the skewer and place on a hot grill. 3 minuntes each side or until the fruit is caramelized and Frankfurters have grill marks. Note that you will need to level these chunks on the skewer so that they hit the grill together. Serve it up to dip in the sweet chili sauce or drizzle it so it soaks in. Either way...this tour of Frankiocity just popped off its flip flops and shoved its feet in the sand.

Frankfurter Recipe: The Seattle Dog

So for the next stop on our Frankiocity tour, we look right in our own back yard. The Seattle Dog. Something newer on the map, but oh so indulgent. We made ours with vegan cream cheese and Nacho sliced Jalapenos, with freshly grilled sweet onions made by our very own FR chef Stephen Holtz. You can find this style of dog at many of the carts in Seattle...sans vegan cream cheese. Just don't ask Steve to eat one, he isn't interested. Oh well as we said before, you can't please everyone.

On another note...We have been busy as dogs at Field Roast...and frankly, we seem to have made some progress with placements of the new Frankfurter! Funny enough Florida and Colorado are in the lead in regards to number of stores. Shout out to Fort Collins for the business! Thanks!

There are still a couple months before summer is over (didn't it just start?) and Labor Day is the hopeful weekend that the grills everywhere will be sizzling with Field Roast Franks. We know that many of you have gotten to try them, and the response has been awesome! We thank everyone who has taken the time to send a note via email or Facebook, and ask that you keep it coming!
