I, for the life of me, couldn't find a good hot dog when I lived in LA... and no, I don't consider Pinks to be a good hot dog.

A good hot dog to me is a Chicago style hotdog, especially a maxwell street polish. In San Diego, best hot dog places are Lefty's Chicago Pizzaria located in North Park or Chicago on a Bun in La Jolla.

i saw this special a few weeks back about America's Best Hot Dogs, on I think the Food Channel...
They went to New York, parts of the midwest, the south but the best looked like from Chicago or New Jersey! they were ripped up or something!
and they said LA eats the most hot dogs in the country...

I have had outstanding Bratwursts in both Chicago and Milwaukee. Is there any really good Bratwurst places here in SoCal?

Citywalk ones are fine, but for some reason they aren't as good when you aren't watching the Dodger's play. Weird.

I love the hot dogs they sell at my school. Stuff's good.

The Citywalk ones are just ok. I don't think they do grilled there, or at least not grilled like they do at Dodger Stadium. And don't even bother with their fake ass garlic fries.

There used to be a place called The Wienery on Ventura in Woodland Hills that had some pretty awesome dogs. It's gone now, and Jeff Suppan's restaurant Soup's Grill is being built in its place.

I've always liked Cupid's, though it's not as good as Pink's. The thing about hot dog places, though, is that pretty much all of them buy their dogs from somewhere. I mean, I can go buy a pack of Dodger Dogs at the store, take them home and grill em up and they taste just as good as the one's at the ballpark.

My favorite hot dogs in the city aren't from a place. They're the kind you buy from a little old Persian man running a cart on the street. Hot dogs taste better if you're on the street in the sun eating one standing up. I'll take mine all beef, natural casing, mustard only please.

How about Fry's? 25 cents for a hotdog and coke.

Best hot dogs (barring health concerns): bacon-wrapped hot dogs in Tiajuana!!! Or how 'bout those ones they used to sell outside Staples.

This is what I'm talking about. The hot dogs they sell are Hebrew National. You can go in the store and buy a pack.

I saw the episode. They replay it quite a bit on that channel.

My favorite hot dogs are the ones I get down in Chile. We call them "completos" (complete). A hot dog on a bun topped with Chilean mayonnaise (it is yellow, not white), diced tomatoes, avocado (not guacamole), perhaps some saurkraut, and onions.

The scariest hot dogs I have seen are right here in MI. There is a reason why Michiganders are so fat. There is a fascination with coney dogs here, and coney restaurants (I don't get the Jersey fascination).

Anyways, a coney dog is a hot dog on a bun, covered with refried beans (or chili?), onions, and mustard. It looks so horrendous, and I have never seen anyone actually eat one, but they are offered at all the diners, er, "coneys" in Michigan.

But nothing beats cooking out in the backyard with your own dogs on the grill. Hhhmmmm...

I'm with you; I remember many years ago literally starving, wandering around the streets with my friends, and deciding that I would rather pass out from hunger than risk something from a TJ food cart vendor...

Really? You've never seen anyone eat a chili dog? What you described is basically a standard order at most L.A. hot dog places. If you don't want chili on your dogs, you better tell them that when you order.

Cosign on costco!

Disagree on the food vendors in Mexico! I've never been to TJ, but I bought bacon-wrapped dogs in Guadalajara and Purto Vallarta. Yum! I won't question what meat it was though...

I like my chili.

I like my hot dogs.

I don't see any need to combine them.
