Not only does Dogtown offer at least 15 veggie dog options a day, it’s also got a special vegan burger deal on Thursdays. Because this city is full of places that actually deserve your attention.A post shared by Dogtown Dogs pick: Calcutta Cur Wait in line, have a hotdog and contemplate what else you could’ve been doing with your Saturday off.
Should you come to Pink’s once? Yeah, why not. Sure, Pink’s is open late, which could make it appealing to the drunken stumblers of Saturday night, but, unfortunately for Pink’s, there are about ten other late-night joints in the vicinity on Melrose that are far easier and drastically more fulfilling. Wanna know where you can get a heated up hotdog with cheese on it? At home. The fact of the matter is there is absolutely nothing special or noteworthy about what Pink’s puts on the plate. But we can certainly blame them for not continuing to elevate their food.
They’re just working their business, right? OK, fine. (And it would certainly save you waiting in the blaring sun for an hour and a half.)īut maybe we can’t blame Pink’s for attracting every tourist from Santa Monica to Hollywood. Heck, eating at Chipotle next door is probably a more authentic LA experience these days. If you think a hotdog topped with sauerkraut and named after Rosie O’Donnell is the real Los Angeles, you should probably leave as fast as f*cking possible. The tiny little stand on the corner of Melrose and La Brea is now an uninteresting food trap, chock-full of Indiana tourists searching for the “real” Los Angeles. Not to discredit Pink’s history, which is long and interesting, but somewhere down the line she managed to lose every last ounce of her magic. We say this in the sense that Pink’s is that one place in every city that supposedly represents its culture and culinary identity perfectly, yet actually fails in every aspect. Let’s face it, there’s a Pink’s Hot Dogs in every city.
