Delicious delicious chili cheese hot dogs. Do I really need to say more? While not exactly on my road trip, I'll consider this Stop 0.1 on my RoadTripEatingAdventure. There's going to be a bunch of Stop 0.* cause there just won't be enough time to hit all the great places in California.

So anyways, about
Pink's. Allison and I headed to
Pink's in
Hollywood on a crowded Friday night. The line was huge, but well worth the wait. Pink's is this little hotdog shack on the corner of Melrose Ave and La Brea Ave that looks like it hasn't been renovated in decades. We waited in line for about 40 minutes, which was good because we kept changing our minds on what we wanted to try. We eventually decided that we would each get the classic 10" chili cheese hotdog, I would get an additional Polish chili cheese bacon burrito, Allison finally decided on a Swiss Mushroom dog with grilled onions and we would split an order of chili cheese fries and onion rings.

Luckily the guy that took our order was really good and got it all right. They even had soda in old timey glass bottles. Total price was only $25 too. A definite good deal for delicious foods. Allison actually manage to eat both of her hotdogs without exploding. I was very impressed. I'll get pics up eventually.
Ratings:Location: 3/5 - A little bit of a challenge to find parking in downtown Hollywood, but they did have their own free parking lot. Too bad I didn't see it until we got there and after I sketchely parked on the street.
Price: 4/5 - Cheap, though it could have been cheaper.
Taste: 5/5 - Deliciousness. The hotdogs even had "snap" which was a completely new experience to me.
Atmosphere - 4/5 - Wasn't much to look at, but that was probably by design. It definitely was an old timey place. They did decorate it with pictures of a whole bunch of celebraties who supposidely enjoys Pinks. Since I didn't see any celebreties there when I went, I can't verify these claims.
Total: 16/20 - Definitely a place I would like to go to again, but seeing how its 45 mins away with a 40 minute line, its not a place thats worth the gas to go to very often.

Apparantly a lot of famous people like to go here. And they like to leave their autographed pictures on the walls. I should have done that too. Although I'm not quite famous... yet.
