Then it was time to
CHOW DOWN!
The lady who graciously snapped this picture owned a hot dog stand in Chicago for 5 years!
This was a good hot dog. It was plenty hot and it had that natural casing snap.The chili sauce was of the all meat variety- much like a Michigan or Coney Island sauce but with a little more zing and zest than the east coast varieties. The onion rings were the heavily battered kind- nothing special. I can see why Pinks is world renowned, it’s a solid hot dog. I’d love to visit the original Pinks someday- the hot dogs are delicious, it’s iconic and it was featured on A Hot Dog Program.

TWO THUMBS UP!
I just saw this place on the Food Network. There really is a lot of history there. Great pictures too. Thanks.
Yep, love Pinks and miss them too. been 6 years. I've had New York and chicago's finest.. A Pinks Chili Dog is like no other.. I' lived a few blocks away and there really is a line ALL THE TIME until 2AM.
@ Brian- It was very good chili! A tad expensive for hot dogs, but the original is not as pricey as the Vegas location.
