Pink's has been slinging ripe, bursting-with-flavor beef hot dogs into fresh buns for longer than almost anyone can remember. See why Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa came to Pink's Hot Dogs in GAYOT's blog.

Dining room at Pink's Famous Chili Dogs, Los Angeles, CAPink's has been slinging ripe, bursting-with-flavor beef hot dogs into fresh buns for the hundreds of hungry folks who stroll up to its takeout windows longer than almost anyone can remember (about 60 years). And chances are your favorite megastars ate here when they were younger and new in Tinsel Town (and still drop by in their limousines whenever a craving hits hard). We think your first bite into one of the franks, especially when covered with the famous homemade chile, will make you feel like a (well-fed) star, too.

Greasy....but delicious
by car on 04/05/2009
 
The only thing I don't like is the long wait in line.
Their onion rings gotta be the best I ever tasted. The portions are huge and very reasonable. I had the signature chili cheese dog (10-inch dog with relish, onions, bacon, chopped tomatoes, sauerkraut and sour cream).
The chili-dogs are good and so are the chili-cheese burgers!
I love this place when I'm craving something REALLY greasy!
If you are expecting table cloths and special treatment you won't like "Pinks"
