Pink's Hot Dogs   

The SceneEveryone loves Pink's, from lunching businessmen and penny-pinching families to ravenous club kids at 3am. Even celebrities wait in the perpetual line. Orson Welles used to come once a week and down a dozen chili-cheese dogs.The FoodThe chili-cheese dog is the end-all and be-all of Pink's. A long, thin, 100-percent beef Hoffy is snug in a lightly steamed bun, oozing with chili and topped with a slab of neon-orange cheese--this dog has earned its signature status. But the menu has evolved since its pushcart beginnings; 21 menu items, including mutants such as the pastrami-Reuben dog and the bacon-burrito dog, are worth the risk of indigestion.High Marks"The hot dogs (specially made for them by Hoffy) have that nice pop when you bite into them. Chili had just the right taste to put on a hot dog." (culinaryman, Citysearch user)"I think waiting in line is part of the fun. You get to see and absorb the culture surrounding the hot dog stand." (sincityeater, Citysearch user)"It's a pretty cool place though with a bunch of photos of famous Hollywood stars and just something you need to experience in LA." (juju13es, Citysearch user)Low Marks"Highly overrated...not worth standing in a long line." (Mendy08, Citysearch user)"The biggest complaint is the line, as it's near impossible to find a time where the line isn't long." (brokentrain, Citysearch user)"The dogs are good, but don't expect them to compare to NYC street vendors, Coney Islands, or Weiner Circle in Chicago." (woofer_15, Citysearch user)
