How Good Are Pink’s Hot Dogs?
Our experience with Pink’s was pretty straight forward.
“Let’s grab a hot dog at Pink’s before dinner.”
“Sure.”
We hopped in the car and headed down to the corner of Melrose and La Brea, only see the line curve along Pink’s hot dog stand.
“That’s way too long of a line to wait in. Let’s check back later after dinner.”
About two hours later we backtracked to Pink’s only to see the same long line. Our dreams of biting into a Pink’s hot dog were shattered. We weren’t in the mood to stand that long of a line.
I woke up the next morning feeling lucky and still craving for a Pink’s hot dog.
“I want to try to see if there’s a line at Pink’s.”
Back to Pink’s and our eyes lit up in surprise. There wasn’t a major line. It was the perfect opportunity to finally grab a hot dog without waiting in line for too long.
Behold the ultimate breakfast to start any day…
The Mulholland Drive Dog. You can call it a hot dog-Philly cheesesteak hybrid. Imagine a Pink’s hot dog, topped with strips of bacon, mushrooms, and onions, all smothered in nacho cheese. This thing was loaded.
For something tamer, the Bacon Chili Cheese Dog can satisfy any appetite. You get a Pink’s hot dog topped with strips of bacon, cheese, tomatoes, and their famous chili to finish it.
If you’re in L.A. and see the line at Pink’s stretching around their stand and wonder if they’re good… Wonder no more.

Try the Stand next time. There are 3 locations, and they have these great $1 deals!
We will be going back to L.A. and hopefully soon. We had such an incredible time there. A visit to Stand might be on the list to visit.
Woah.. the Mulholland Drive Dog looks crazy good. Taste-wise, did you notice any difference from the hot dogs (just the hot dogs alone) that we had at the festival?
I took a bite of the Bacon Chili Cheese Dog and have to say that it tasted better here than the Great American Food and Music Festival. Maybe it was the extra toppings or just seeing them assemble the hot dogs that made me feel this way. Either way, we were just excited that we didn’t have to wait in line for these.
I went to pinks several years ago, and the line was really long! I waited over an hour and ordered 4 hotdogs and fries and onion rings for two people! I found it difficult to settle on just one hotdog!
Hey Jessica,
If you’re were in line for that long, I would’ve done the same thing. I’d order as much as I can because it’ll be rough waiting in line again just because you missed one thing to order.
Am I reading this right? There’s no sentence, or even a phrase, any where in this post that actually declared Pink’s as “good”, is there? At least I hope there isn’t.
Went there myself, waited 30 minutes or so & ordered a “Huell (Howser) Dog.” The thing had canned chili on it! Enough said. Canned chili sucks out loud and the Pinks hot dog I ordered sucked accordingly.
