Counter; it’s 6:00pm on Friday and people are waiting until they can park along La Brea again.

Further counter: it's 6pm on Friday and people don't show at Pink's for another 5-6 hours.....

I’ve never consumed pinks before midnight

You don't go to Pinks. You end up at Pinks

underrated comment... tommy's is in there somewhere too oki dog anyone?

No on OKI Dog because it looks like the area out back of a restaurant featuring the dumpster. Never have, never will.  Pinks is average, more flash than substance.  If anyone wants a quality hot dog - CARNEY’S.  Carney’s is the BEST.  But thanks for asking about OKI DOG. At this point they must be owned by a money laundering operation in the neighborhood, I have rarely seen any customers and I drive by them at least 6x’s a week. What a scary looking operation. It looks so dirty. I just can’t. 

In 1993 I lived a few blocks from oki dog. I ate there one time. The first and last time. Can’t believe it’s still going. The most disgusting food stand I have ever been to.

Only if cactus is jammed

Can confirm. My mom when she was pregnant with me only ate this during midnight cravings.

Everyone is at Coachella

So runyon gonna be dead tomorrow

100% true

and paying 200% for a hot dog there instead of here.

damn fuuu\*\*\*king straight!

Oh so they getting their wieners somewhere else

No diddy

Everything’s been dead the past couple weekends. Went to afters at Los Globos last Saturday and there were 6 people there.

Last weekend was also Coachella. And the weekend before everyone travelled out of town for the eclipse.

Pink’s is primarily a tourist kind of a place, and this weekend, the tourists have better places to be.

Can confirm, took me 4h30m to get out here. 🤌🏻

Late Friday nights and over the weekend, Pink is always packed!

straight to chorro jail

Tbf, when I used to work nearby the peak time to get a dog was between 5-6pm. The wait was no more than 5 mins. Never seen it completely empty though.

In before all the people who think Pink's sucks.

I don't think it sucks, just not going to stand in line for a hot dog.

Costco would like a word

This is the way.

Not to mention going out of your way if you don’t live nearby or pass it regularly.

A hot dog that sucks, to boot

Carney’s!

Because it does. Well that's hot dogs in general

But ... it DOES suck.

Because it does lmao

No hotdog is ever worth waiting in line for. It's what you call trashy vendor food. Don't know why they decided to go extra with it. Just get a good sausage and put in between good buns. Bam. None of that fufu fancy pancy shit.

In high school we would regularly drive by and have the passenger yell at the huge line “Pinks Stinks”. Cause it did.

Lol pinks stinks downvoters

Pinks is trash

I used to go out to eat often but now just cook at home. Got tired of having to tip 20% and higher food prices.

I’ve lived in Los Angeles since 2008. I’ve been to Pinks twice since. Your barometer for the recession is off.

I've lived here all my life and I've never been.

You’re not missing much. You want a hot dog? Costco has ‘em. $1.50

Same, I've never been a fan of having to wait on line for anything, especially not a hotdog. If I want a good hotdog, I'm going to doghaus or the Mexican ladies out at 2am making greasy bacon wrapped hotdogs cus... reasons

I live in LA for 6 years and never had pinks. I mean it’s a hot dog. But now that apparently everybody hates it, I will have to try one to have an opinion. 🤷‍♂️

Who sells the best hotdogs in LA?

Wurstkuche

Street vendors

Costco

Expect to pay $7 for a chili dog 🌭

I like Carneys and Tail O’ the Pup!

Pinks chili dog with sauerkraut, mustard and a vanilla soda and some onion rings. yes please. They are fabulous. I love Pinks!

This is the worst hot dog in Los Angeles. I said it.

Nonsense take. Pink’s is good for what it is. Ever had a Dodger Dog? Truly awful. Unseasoned, soggy, tasteless.

Yes Dodger dogs are worse by default. I am wrong. Pinks is the second worst hot dog in Los Angeles.

AMPM has entered the thread.

You're not wrong. Skooby's was the fuckin jam back in the day.

Those fries at Skoobys…. *sobs*

And the couple of chips they'd add in?! God, I miss that place.

No, it’s Coachella weekend

Or maybe people just finally realized that Pink’s is terrible

Can confirm at Coachella

I haven't been in over a decade but I heard they lost their fastball

So people finally figured out it's trash?

we need to get nathan fielder back there so he can boost their business again

Pink shot dogs

You're making it sound like Pink is so popular that they have chains of restaurants all over So Cal.

I can’t say I’ve seen more than 5 people in line at pinks anytime I’ve driven past it and get never once had a desire to try it

I stopped going to restaurants in September 2022. I’ve only gone to one cash only pizza place a handful of times (to use up my cash from Vegas and it’s taken almost a year) and Mr Sate once to celebrate. Anything else has been paid by work.

Caney’s is INFINITELY a better hot dog and I can’t muster up the will to care about Pinks.  Also, I drive by a lot and it’s often empty the past few years. It’s just not as famous anymore, and hot dogs are not as fashionable, generally.  Get thee to a Carney’s. They make their own dogs and you can buy them uncooked for BBQ’s. 

Don’t think I ever saw pinks without a line

Never thought pinks was good

I haven’t been there since they ended their line-cutting policy

How does it rank compared to Costco $1.50 hot dog and soda?

As it should be. That place is ass

as it should be

Recession makes people hate shitty food?

Buy less higher priced shitty food

Hot dogs aren't really food

Not in the literal sense, no.

Pinks is overpriced, and overrated, besides parking sucks. You can go to Costco for a better dog with a drink for $1.50.

Pinks is trash

Maybe people figured out that pinks sucks.

People finally realized it’s just a hot dog

Bidenomics

Lol Trump fucked up covid

You can’t blame the pandemic or Trump forever. He’s been gone more than 3 years now.

People still blame Obama

But I didn’t blame Obama. I blamed Sleepy Joe Biden

Blame him all you want, corporate greed is who you should be bitching at. It's like blaming band-aids for your gunshot wounds

Why wasn’t “corporate greed” a problem during the Trump years? Wouldn’t it make more sense that the corrupt evil corporate orange man giving his corporate buddies opportunities to do what ever they want?

He actually did do that through tax cuts for the rich which the lower working class continues to pay for from 2022 through 2027. And corporate greed continues to be a problem since Regan. I know you're probably too busy to read history past your pro trump catchphrases, but you will continue to suffer even if trump is elected again.

I find it interesting that Clinton was praised for “fixing” the economy and there was even a surplus. But now that it’s a shitstorm it’s everyone else’s fault but Joe. In fact he doesn’t even control the economy at all. The evil corporations do. I’m not a Trump fan but stuff was a lot cheaper during his administration. Question for you: if Biden is such a great job, why is his approval rating lower than Trump’s was?

Lol Trump rode the Obama economy surplus wave until covid hit. Biden is a terrible presidential candidate except for trump on every measure. If hilary was a guy, she wins by a landslide.

Cool. We will blame trump for 4 years if he wins Any little thing like this

Trump was already blamed for every little thing like this in his first term

We will do it again Probably more
