Though I am born and raised in Los Angeles, I had actually never had a Pink's Hot Dog.
Well, I had one for lunch today. My whole Department went to take my boss out for his Birthday -
It was an experience. More fat in one meal than I usually have in a week. If I was at home, I think I would stick my finger down my throat on principle alone.
Oy, I can just imagine the afternoon I am going to have.
In the words of Monty Python . .. "I'm sick, get me a bucket."
I know a lot of folks love Pink's - but for me. Once was more than enough.
OK - carry on, I just wanted to share this precious moment with you.

Never been there either but I'm always amazed how there is ALWAYS a line there, even at 2am.
next time head a few blocks west and hang out with my peeps at Canters.

Wasn't give a choice - would have much preferred Cantor's!
It will be a very long night.
