In Profile: Oki-Dog

By Ryan - Tuesday July 05th 2005

shack for the ages

Oki-Dog, now we sing thee merits. Day-glo orange shack! Shack with proud “C” rating on Fairfax! Former shack of the punkrockers in the 70s on Santa Monica Blvd!

Oki-Dog: Where menu letters are exchanged so you can buy either Hot Coffee or Hot Cock for .98 cents - your choice!

Oki-Dog: How is it made? Oki-Dog: Do we care!?

Ode to the Oki, Bukowski style……

i ate an ‘oki-dog’ yesterday…
tortilla that has been magically folded to have two compartments
each with a dog in it
one side filled then with chili
and cheese
the other filled to the juicing brim with pastrami
the resulting giant burrito is nearly unmanageable

i think it is trying to resolve itself inside me now

Even Tony Bourdain can’t resist the call of the Oki.

What now?

Just looking at the chili on that freebie coupon makes me want to hurl. I’m heading immediately to the schnitzel — thanks for the tip.

[...] All things considered, you’re still eating at a shack on the side of the road. Let’s do a side-by-side comparison with another known LA shack, Oki-Dog. Just for shacks and giggles. [...]

[...] Vendors. Plenty of vendors! Everyone from killradio to amoeba records. One of my favorite vendor booths was situated near Edgecliff: the annual oki-dog tent. I had absolutely no idea that oki-dogs were available in ranges from 4″ up to 31″ - literally a folded, juiced, pastrami-stuffed tortilla longer than my arm. It made my day.* [...]
