About 10 days ago, we were in Hollywood and we decided that we wanted to check out Pink's Hot Dog Stand. This establishment has been featured on the Travel Chanel as one of the top 10 hot dog eateries in the nation. When Rhonda and I arrived, the line was out the door, up the street and around the corner into the parking lot. We took our place among the throngs and patiently waited our turn. Our turn took 1hr and 10 minutes and cost around $12.00for both of us. Rhonda had a Kraut dog and I opted for the slaw dog. We looked for movie stars. We saw none. In fact, it was pretty hard to find any normal looking people. Between the excess of tattoo's, piercings, and uncovered skin that should have been covered, it was pretty hard to spot anyone that you might want to have date your son or daughter. In fact ,it was hard to find anyone that you might feel comfortable making eye contact with. It felt like a combination of Trick or Treat, Ringling Brothers, and the Liberty Park Drum Circle.
While standing in line, a blind man passed with his wife. He had the obligatory 8' long white cane in front of him in his left hand. His right had rested upon his companions shoulder.(I believe it was his wife, as they were both wearing wedding rings). In passing, I heard her say to him,"Honey, it's getting dark". I really wonder if this was information that he really needed or cared about. In the morning I wonder if she says "Honey it's getting light out. Time to get up"?

I wanted to go to Pink's. I wouldn't have eaten a nasty hotdog but would have loved to watch for celebrities. I'm honestly shocked that you both stood in that line for that long. Hope it was worth it.
Was it worth it? I want the skinny on the dog. Was it all that you had hoped for?
i'm pretty sure i don't wait an hour and twenty minutes for an excellent steak, let alone a dumb hotdog!!!
yummy...and i, too, am shocked you stood in line for that long!
