BEST HOTDOG IN L.A.

What? you ask, is so special about a hotdog from Colombia?

No….it’’s not laced with contraband, although I will say that if you like junk food, one bite could lead to a serious addiction.

Some may cringe, others are already salivating but here is the combination. Take a Hebrew National hot dog and tuck ham and mozzarella cheese into a bun with raw onion, spackle with crushed pineapple, sprinkle with crushed potato chips and finish with a three-squeeze-bottle lattice of catsup, mustard and mayonnaise. The sweet flavor of the pineapple and the salty potato chips made it, plus the texture of the crunch added an extra dimension. Top it off with some Colombian cheesy puffs and a malta soda and you have met your cholesterol quota for the month.

If you are adventurous and need a fix, you can get one of these masterpieces at Tutti Frutti in Pasadena, CA.

Tail O” the Pup
L.A. kitschy icon that has been moved around quite a bit. It currently is being moved again to Westwood from what I have read. This goes on my list because we need to preserve these historic icons or else the world will become a very boring place. The hotdogs are good too!
