W.C. Frank

Frankly my dear...I don't...OK, nevermind. We couldn't resist. W.C. Frank was a small Midwest chain of mid-80s hot dog joints (along with pizza, beer, sports games on the tube) that doubled as kick-ass arcade game parlors for legions of acne-faced Frogger and Donkey Kong wizards — all vying for TOP score! The Lincoln outpost was downtown on Q Street next to the UNL Bookstore (and Wendy’s). It got VERY raucous on Husker game days (back in the 80s and 90s when The N was a dominant force in the Big Ten conference). It was, as they said, "A Frank We Can All Afford".
