Chris and I headed to Hollywood in the 68 Lincoln Continental for dinner at a hot dog stand that is older than the car. I love hot dogs, they are the first thing I learned to cook as a kid and despite all the unhealthy things in them I still love them. So as we head to Pink's Hot Dogs I am getting excited. I don't know what to expect but the line isn't as long as I thought it would be and the stand is more of a building. We ease into the parking lot thinking maybe we should have brought a smaller car. But Chris finds parking without hitting anyone in line or another car. So we hop out and stand in line. It smells like french fries, bacon and onions which makes me hungrier by the minute.
We start discussing the pros and cons of each hot dog option. The Rosie O'donnel vs the Martha Stewart or the Chili Cheese Dog vs the Guacamole Dog. They have everything you could want on a hot dog and somethings I am convinced barely ever get ordered. After about 45 mins in line (make sure you bring a friend to wait with) we order. I get a Guacamole dog and a Brooklyn Pastrami without mustard. Chris orders a Rosie O'Donnel Dog and a Pastrami Ruben Dog.
We sit down in the patio out back and dig in. My guacamole dog is strange but delicious and I couldn't be happier. Chris's hot dog has so much stuff on it it looks like its about to fall apart but he agrees DELICIOUS! The pastrami on my second hot dog is prefect and I can't finish it all so I pack it up to take home.
I can see why people wait in line for food, why they don't mind the 45 min wait and why they keep coming back. For me and my love of hot dogs I would be back more often if it wasn't a 30 min drive away. If you get the chance Pink's is worth the wait. :)
