| - okkkkkkkaaaaay now!!!!
Let me tell you what I was expecting, and then I'll share with you what I actually experienced. I was sort of expecting a grittier, younger version of Pinks hot dogs. I mean, they both originate in LA, they're hot dogs, kinda trendy hang out type spots, and each one has made a home in Vegas.
The Yelp reviews were good, pictures solid, menu I thought "eh, not very extensive" when compared to the OG Pink's.
When I arrived, I thought the vibe was great. Board games, a game on TV, west coast rap over the speakers. I ordered an Elote dog, the person I was with ordered a chili dog.
We had to wait 20 min, but didn't have anything better to do, so we happily sat around.
When we got our dogs, the first thing I noticed (and did NOT expect as a first timer) was that the dogs are enveloped in a Texas toast/hot dog bun hybrid.
Two of the thickest, most buttery, fresh and slightly toasted slices of Texas toast, but welded together towards the bottom to create this masterpiece of ingenuity.
The Hot dog by the way (it's a hot dog place, afterall) was INSANE. Way better than what we're getting at Pinks. Guaranteed.
The toppings on the Elote Dog. That's really a site and taste to behold. The perfect balance.
As I was eating my dog...... I was already deciding which other menu item I would get to next.
GO DIRT DOG and RIP to Pinks.
