A Visit to the Historic Pink's Hotdogs in LA

today is National Hotdog Day, and i thought this was the perfect time to share our visit to the historic Pink's Hotdogs in Hollywood. i took the boys there to try some of their famous hotdogs on a visit to Los Angeles earlier this year, and we had a lot of fun.

Pink's has been serving hotdogs in LA since 1939, as it began as a Mom and Pop hot dog stand. it all began when Paul & Betty Pink started selling hot dogs from a cart on a neighborhood street corner at La Brea & Melrose. everyone loved their hotdogs so much, that they are still serving them up today. Pink's has become a Hollywood landmark and is famous around the world. it is currently operated by Paul & Betty’s family: Richard, Gloria, and Beverly, and has expanded to ten locations including Southern California, Las Vegas, and Ohio.Celebrities love Pink's too, they have been visited by many stars. from Orson Welles to Marlon Brando to Michael Jackson, Pink’s has served personalities such as Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby, Betty White, Martha Stewart, Aretha Franklin and Guy Fieri. they even have been visited by celebrity chefs such as Bobby Flay, Giada de Laurentiis and Emeril Lagasse.Jackson was especially excited to find that Tony Hawk has visited Pink's.

Pink’s is known for its yummy variety of hot dogs, hamburgers and fries. plus…the portions are huge, and prices are affordable. i mean….check out these dogs!!!!!
