I am sooooooooo humbled by the amount of votes we have had so far. YOU ALL ROCK!!! The Frontier turns 60 this year, I would love us to have this honor! We have until June 14th to win this thing!!!
Gotta be honest though, I LOVE Merrits, I grew up eating there as well as the Frontier, but I have never, ever had a hot dog there. It's just not what I think of when I think of hot dogs. Tons of other delicious items. Me personally, I make the drive to Paul's Place if I am somewhat close. Regardless, just being mentioned in the same circle as some of these Wilmington icons is amazing.
Thank you all so much.
