PINK'S HOT DOGS (Los Angeles, CA - Dining)

709 N. La Brea Blvd., L.A., CA 90038
Phone: (323) 931-4223

Type: A Hollywood tradition since 1939
Corner of Melrose Avenue/N. La Brea Blvd.

Pink's has been around since 1939 and has become a Hollywood tradition. Frequented by celebrities, Pink's honors a celebrity visit by naming a hot dog after them and their taste. My personal favorite is the Martha Stewart Dog, consisting of: A 10" Stretch Hot Dog, Relish, Onions, Bacon, Chopped Tomatoes, Sauerkraut and Sour Cream.
