Pinks is not what it used to be. Back in the day, their menu was very simple, and they excelled at it. Now, they have ten jillion menu items and hot dog combos and they've gone downhill.

Regardless, your Tubesteak Tribute was simply EPIC.

Great work!

Good job, I love those Nathan's dogs.

overall it was a successfull day, my daughter had her first corn dog(actually TWO!)made by the one and only DAD.

and i had my first chicago dog, which i was susipicious of, but as it turns out was KILLER.

The line at Pink's is NEVER too long!

And in a pinch, you can use Hormel Chili (no beans) and chop the meat up little finer.

Oh, NIIIIIIIICE DOGS!

You really should get the neon green relish for the Chicago dog. Besides the color, it's a little sweeter then regular sweet relish.

Thought I would hate the neon green (can't stand sweet relish) until I tried it. Absolutely made the dog

Next time your in L.A., go up to Universal City Walk. Nice to walk around and hang out and there is a Pinks up there too without that crazy line. Others too. Punch up pinks for locations.

Titch · 06-24-2013, 02:13 AM

They look great, you shone with them, just ask more little critic.
we use to have 2 hotdog specialist shops here in Vict, both gone.
great to munch on a Dog on the way home from the Pub

deguerre · 06-24-2013, 06:14 AM

Epic indeed, and I'm stealing that onion relish recipe.

boogiesnap · 06-24-2013, 06:34 AM

thanks again fellas.

guerry, i'll double check and if i'm wrong i'll write, but the onion relish was:

1 vidalia(they're in season)sliced quarter inch think
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
cooked on low until light brown and limp.
add 1/4 cup ketchup and 1/4 cup water.
a pinch, and i mean pinch, of cinamon(otherwise that's all you taste)
salt and pepper to taste(i prolly gave 2 three finger pinches of each)
and let simmer bout 20 minutes.

i found it on food.com i think.

deguerre · 06-24-2013, 06:39 AM

Thanks! I love Videlias. Used one in my beenie weenies. The sweetness will work perfectly with this.
