Under $10 And In No Way Advised: “Hot Dog Death March” (LA Metblogs)
Ok, people. The mighty gurgitators of the LA Metblogs are having a Hot Dog Death March to the Death on June 13 (week from Saturday). Information is here. They’ll be eating at Oki-Dog, Pink’s and Skooby’s, all during the same afternoon. Maybe you join them, let us know how you fare. Me, I’m steering clear. In fact in no way and at no time do I recommend you join this event. No, I must advise against it. For reasons to remain unblogged at present I no longer condone any sort of social experiment regarding Oki-Dog, Hollywood Toll Booth, Day-glo Bastion of Toothlessness, North Fairfax, Willoughby, Tinseltown USA. I will not be at this event; I will not be at the Oki-Dog. I will be nowhere anywhere near this event, at all. Do not let this stop you.
LA Metblogs Leads the “Los Angeles Hot Dog Death March” To Sample 3 Eateries in 1 Afternoon
Calling all hot dog lovers & pop culture fans! LA Metblogs (la.metblogs.com), obsessed with covering everything quintessentially “LA,” is gathering for a mass “meat-up” over three of LA’s best-loved hot dog stands.
Who will win this weenie smackdown?! Certainly not YOU, after you’ve had three hot dogs in as many hours. But you’re all winners in our eyes, so it’s ok.
Our destinations are Pink’s, Oki-Dog, and Skooby’s. Yes, there are many other great wieners in Los Angeles (har har har). We think these three are enough for one afternoon.
The date: Saturday June 13
The time: 3pm – time of death
The progression: Meet at Pink’s, then Oki-dog, Skooby’s, emergency room
The fun: contests, prizes, acid reflux
The why: WHY NOT? Don’t answer that.

Looks like they even have an official logo. Much as I am trying not to sound like the little old lady in Poltergeist, Oki-Dog is not to be toyed with, this I say with certainty after years of experimentation, I have said it, I can sleep, carry on.

The only person I ever knew that liked Oki-Dog was the guy the introduced me to it, oh so many years ago, back when I still ate murder. He was a huge 6′2″ (give or take) Native American named Darryl that lived in my Boyle Heights neighborhood of Wyvernwood. He was also either slightly retarded or just kinda crazy. He liked my 14 year old sister so kept trying to be my friend. He gave her dirty paperback novels (I guess to get her “aroused”) but he treated me to lunch. He borrowed his dad’s (that would be Ward) Gremlin, which was the last car you’d expect such big guys to be driving, and I had a few bites of my first and last oki-dog. It’s fucking weenies in a tortilla de harina! Maybe if they scrambled it in eggs.
Needless to say, that excursion was one of the last times I hung out with Darryl. He kept coming to our door, asking for and about that sis, but she was never home. Which meant that he would just get angry at me. Cuz he wasn’t at home neither.
Pink’s should be the LAST stop on this run for a true measure of endurance. Grinding out an inevitable Saturday 45-min-long line with dogs from other two stops battling in their stomachs would truly separate out the men/women/older transgenders from the boys/girls/younger transgenders.
That’s a good point Victor. Guessing Skooby’s was chosen as the finish line because it has the smallest seating capacity of the three.
We chose to end at Skooby’s for two reasons: 1) If anyone is going to hurl, Hollywood Blvd seemed the most appropriate place to do it and 2) it’s across the street from Musso and Frank so we can stop in for a large martini to cleanse the palate.
Can’t wait!
Skooby’s is also an almost-straight shot to the Kaiser Hospital on Sunset.
I’m not going to the oki-dog.
Take it down, Ryan.
Hear hear. Completely disgusting. Proof, once again, not all bloggers have good taste, much less an actual palate.

And apparently some don’t have a sense of humor.
