Hollywood Blvd Hotdog Vendor

An LA dirty dog is just the perfect end to the night. The aroma of the bacon wrapped dogs and grilled veggies kicks up and just lures you in (like in cartoons when they smoke/​steam coming off food turns into a hand and takes you in).
I like mine with the grilled veggies (onions and bell peppers), cheese, ketchup and mayo.
Make sure you have cash.

It’s so good here thumbs up 5 star review well deserved they totally rock hot and ready.

Seriously the best hot dog I’ve ever had in my life and I’m from Chicago!!! I visited in 2013 and still remember that hotdog. I came out from Jimmy Kimmell and smelled the most amazing smell ever. Literally, i smelled my way to this hotdog! This guy off the street was grilling up onions, peppers, and a bunch of other stuff on this little portable grill stand. Best meal while in Cali! I wanted to review, but how can you when it’s a guy off the street lol so I’m trying to re-​create it again so I Google’d it and was so happy to find a Unilocal page for it!!! I didn’t even get a chance to take a picture because I scarfed down do fast!

Street meat! Ventured out with my cousin who lived here longer but never had the gall to try them. I was looking for the runaway carts when I stumbled upon the truck, not realizing that the business has grown since 2013. So, we got our bacon wrapped dogs with everything (ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, grilled onions, and half a jalapeño pepper.)
Now, I would do without the pepper. It’s a weird kinda side item. I would NOT do without the mayonnaise. While weird (and honestly, watching her put it on, I was kicking myself for not putting a nix on it) but it surprisingly worked.
Why three stars if I enjoyed it so much?
Can’t quite say it’s the most health-​aware grill or worker. We had a group of four, and one person held out on taking a bite because the grill cooks kid was peeing on the trucks tire at the time. I’ve been to some third world countries and worked in some rank kitchens to let it go but I can’t consciously give more than three stars for the experience. ;)

Manager sucks. Girls rocks. Food ok. Service sucks… Have minimum 1 hr for ur food.

These taste awesome after you’ve been out partying on the Blvd. all night. Can’t be healthy for you, but who cares!

Ok, just when you not hungry, and you pass one of these hot dog carts, you must have one.
We always looks for them after the bars or clubs close. It hits the spot.
Quality and sanitation depends on the cart vendors, so look at that first. Overall, pretty well cooked.

No regulation. Piss poor quality. No health inspections. They are not called danger dogs for no reason. Hand washing? Kind of hard without running water. Think about that next time you are handed a danger dog from the hand that just held a soggy 5 dollar bill. Also completely unfair to local business owners who have to pay rent, insurance, and employees. Stay away from these illegal carts and support you local legal businesses.

I love that this has reviews.
These street-​dogs are the bomb and super cheap if you negotiate like I do (when drunk).
Sack up and get a chili pepper on that sonofabitch too. You’ll thank me (and then hate me in the morning)

THE most tastiest street dogs this side of the Mississippi.
Bring an extra $ 10 after the show as the ATM at the Hollywood Bowl is always out of cash… just so you’ll fill ur pie hole to soak up the nights libations.

these hot dogs are simply the best I have ever had.
First time I ever laid eyes on this forbidden food was in front of the Hollywood Walk of Fame late at night… then I made the mistake of not trying this food and eating at Hard Rock Café. BAD DECISION –_​–
For $ 4, you can the most orgasmic hot dog ever. wrapped in bacon, cooked with grease, accompanied with peppers and onions, this hot dog is NO Dodger dog. It has the best aromatic smell ever. It’s what you want to sniff after you wake up from hibernation for a week long.
these are best eaten drunk :)

«That was the best hot dog I’ve ever had! I want another one!»
I said that sentence at least 40 times as we walked down Hollywood Blvd after consuming our dirty dogs. I consider myself a hot dog lover — Chicago dogs & Chili Cheese seem to always end up on top. But this hot dog was a revelation. I seriously have a new favorite TYPE of hot dog.
This was just a very skilled woman manning a tiny grill serving up amazing hot dogs.
It consists of: a hot dog wrapped in bacon, grilled onions, grilled peppers, grilled whole jalapeño, mayo, ketchup, and mustard. Get it all, unless you can’t stand the jalapeño — because it was not joking around & I’m from Texas so you better believe me.
Get one, or TWO!

Walking by them everyday after work, I finally broke and had one last night because I was too lazy to cook. These hot dogs are good and bad for you. Taste good, but they are very bad for you. But once a year won’t kill you or will it? =)
If you are drunk and then eat these. Awww-​Mazing… These becomes a 5 star.
They really can’t be there because they don’t have permits to sell there. But if you see cops around get your hot dog first and fast. Before they pack up shop and run.

You can smell them from miles away, as you stumnle out of a hollywood club and the slight breeze brings you the lovely LA street scent of sauteed onions and peppers in bacon oil, all frying together in heavenly glory.
I LOVE DIRTY DOGS. Danger Dogs. TJ Dogs. Whatever you want to call them, these are SO LA, and SO SO SO delicious. And of course, GET IT WITH EVERYTHING!!! I mean all the mustard, mayo, ketchup, onions, peppers, EVERYTHING!
The ones in hollywood tend to taste better — maybe from more years of oil on the pans? — and can cost you anywhere from $ 3-​$ 5. Dont pay more than that. Haggle if you can, but if there’s a line of hungry patrons, good luck!
No matter the price or the wait, these bacon-​wrapped goodies are deliciously amazing, and iconically LA, and somehing you’ve gotta try at least once before you die (even if you die from the bacon grease)!! yes, it’s that good.

DANGER DOGS!!!
They’re not called that for nothing. But screw it! They taste delicious! $ 5, $ 4, or $ 3 if you haggle/​find the right ladies are delicious and a quick bite to eat.
«CON TODOS!»
Throw on that onion, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and jalapeño for the side!
Danger dogs are a great drunk food, an every so often sober craving, and something you have to buy out of town visitors.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: Bacon-​wrapped hot dogs with grilled onions, peppers, and mayo are as much a part of being from LA as Los Doyers, In N’ Out, and remembering when our local programming was cut short because of news coverage of OJ Simpson trying to run away in his Bronco in the 90s.
Amazing. How can you resist?

«Can we just leave now so we can get to the dirty dogs???» That’s a typical frustrated wine (imagine a 5 year old tugging at you) paired with a tinge of inebriation in an attempt to get to those dogs NOW.
It’s a basic beef dog (or whatever meat they’re comprised of really) wrapped in a thick piece of bacon, lathered with peppers and onions (I go sans veggies) cooked to smokey perfection. Throw on some ketchup and you’re golden.
They’re cheap as shit too. No credit card swipers here. Bring cash, in singles preferably so they don’t spend all their time hashin out your change.
A dirty dog usually kills the all-​too-​frequent Dennys or Jbox run post clubbing.
People rave about trendier hotdog spots like Pinks, or Skoobs, but the hotdog cart is where it’s at. Seriously.
If only they had cheese…

At 2 in the morning, chances are you won’t be as discerning about the food you are going to eat and after dancing and drinking on the blvd — the hot dog cart is a welcome site. some nights you want to wander on over and wait in line at Roscoe’s for some waffles and some nights you just wanna grab a dog off the cart, trust me, you will love it. considering the fact that you probably danced off the equivalent of the caloric intake of these naughty dogs, you can feel great about chomping it down. don’t worry, everyone else is kinda tipsy too and they aren’t going to fault you for your voracious appetite after clubbin, plus you need something in your stomach to absorb the booze, right. :)
A reminder. don’t drink and drive. eat hot dogs.
about 4.00 in cash. yum

Take that Pinks! Why wait in a long line when it is cold out? You know you didn’t bring a jacket to the club because it was going to be hot in there. Why hurt your stilettoed feet waiting in line?
Seriously some of the best food after a long night of drinking and dancing. For $ 4 and no lines, you can get your very own bacon-​wrapped euphoria on a bun with peppers and onions. It is the best pork-​infused aroma after emerging from a cramped slightly smoky Hollywood club. Don’t judge me because I eat here.

Leaving the club, I was distracted by an invisible arm of hot dog aroma that whiffed up underneath my nose to pull me over to the hot dog stand.
Oh what a tricky hot dog lady you. You did that on purpose didn’t you? Here, have my $ 4. Give me a bacon wrapped hot dog with everything please.
My Unilocaler cousin Lan Q and I shared the hot dog. I inhaled my half. It was the perfect start to an ending of my night (refer to LA Fuxion entry). It was a fatty plump hot dog wrapped in artery-​clogging bacon, topped with grilled onions, and squiggly lines of ketchup and mustard. My taste buds and stomach thanked me fot the savory treat, but my triglyerides and heart said «screw you Linh». Sorry arteries, but that was really really good.
After I finished my hot dog, I looked up only to find that other club goers who had planned on walking straight, were too, pulled in by that invisible arm of hot dog aroma. Drunk goers would come up with me, and go «OH. MY. GAWWD, where did you get that hot dog?»
Now being the experienced hot dog eater, I pointed two feet to my left and said. «Right there.»
