"90) both sounded good, but heat has a way of dampening an appetite, so I ordered a simple chili cheese dog ($2. It was everything a good dog needs to be, full of flavor, bursting with juice and loaded - hot chili, cold diced onion, mustard and a slice of..."

"Orson Welles ate 18 of these hot dogs in one sitting, and you, too, will be tempted to order more than one. The chili dogs are the main draw, but the menu has expanded to include an Ozzy Osbourne Dog (a spicy Polish sausage with cheese, grilled onions, gu..."

"Pink's isn't your usual guidebook recommendation, but then again, this crusty corner stand isn't your typical hot dog shack. Name another hot dog stand that has its own valet who deftly parks the stream of Rolls-Royces and Mercedes that pull up regularly...."

"Pink's has been slinging ripe, bursting-with-flavor beef hot dogs into fresh buns for the hundreds of hungry folks who stroll up to its takeout windows longer than almost anyone can remember (about 60 years). And chances are your favorite megastars ate he..."
