text: I love watching food shows including Throwdown with Bobby Flay I remembered a few years ago that he visited the original Pinks Hotdogs in Los Angeles CA and thinking that if I ever got a chance to try their hotdogs I would make sure to do so nnI was generally disappointed with the overall experience however some of the positive aspects of the visit was fast friendly service though I went at about AM before a major lunch rush and hot fresh food nnI ordered the Chicago Polish hotdog and I am not entirely sure what I expected but was disappointed because when I go out to eat I at least hope to have food that would be difficult or impossible for me to replicate at home I have had better hotdogs in my own back yard nnAs a side I had the onion rings which were hot and crispy but did not have an exciting or flavorful batter worth noting nnAnother unfortunate part of the experience was the annoying little birds that were very unafraid of people and kept landing on the tablenearby chairs expecting a free handout nnI will not be going to this location again but I would be open to trying Pinks again only in LA
