Fronk's Restaurant

Andrew and I have decided to try one new thing every month. Unfortunately, I can't ever think of anything besides food. So we tried a new restaurant called Fronk's, not frAnk's, in Bellflower that a friend of mine recommended.

The decor was really eclectic and kitschy. There was a ton of stuff on the wall everything from American flags and plastic lunchboxes to Picasso's Don Quixote.... and a baby doll sitting on a radio holding a fork. It was really... confusing and interesting and fun.

My favorite decor by far, was the endless shelf of condiments.
A sight that is so pleasing to me. (And tasty!) But the burger was so good, can you believe, I didn't use any condiments! ME! The lover of all condiments.

The place is really casual and weirdly nostalgic of the American past... or the crazy uncle of the American past. This is weird, because 1. I wasn't alive before the 80s and 2. I was born in Korea.

Our server said the burgers were pretty big so Andrew and I decided to split the Fronkenburger and... something else that I will show you later.
While we waited for our food, I took pictures of the silverware.

Yum!"Juicy 1/2 lb gourmet Angus burger with beer battered onion rings, maple bacon, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, monterey jack cheese, and chipotle ranch sauce."

Even though we split the burger, we could each order our own sides. I got the coleslaw:

He got the fries:

The verdict? YUMMY and super messy/drippy to eat. They also had other things on the menu that I wanted to try, like the Habanero burger. A girl next to us ordered it and was sweating and "dying" from the spiciness. Her words, not mine. She literally said she was dying and finished her coke. Twice. And ordered ice cream.

For dessert:
Peanut butter hot fudge brownie sundae: Homemade Godiva fudge brownie topped with melted peanut butter, french vanilla ice cream, chopped nuts, and whipped cream. In other words, diabetes, cavities, and clogged arteries rolled into one. I'm not a big dessert person but this was oh, so yummy!

Needless to say, we ate the whole thing.

In conclusion, this place is ... different and creative. In a good way. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think!
