a hot dog tour of the US

thanks guys,i appreciate every word!

moose, i been to LA many times, but never got to eat at pinks...the line was always too darn long. the chili recipe seems to be quite a secret(unless you find where they buy it from, but i didn't have time get it shipped;)), so i used a tommy's burger chili clone. it was good with the dog. missing the brinyness of hearts and liver though....

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!

I'd hit those!

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:grin:

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.
 
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
 
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.
 
Right on boogie!!:thumb:
Pretty lucky to get Chicago dogs here too. I get some Cincinnati chili mix every year for Xmas and corn dogs are my kryptonite!!!
:clap2:
 
Coulda went to carolina too!

Take away the cheese and add sweet mayo slaw to that awesome chili dog and ya got a carolina dog!


You made some very very nice dogs indeed!
