Hi, my name is Odie and I'm rat terrier mix and my master lives with me in Los Angeles. My master is extremely single (like pathetically single) and ladies, please... im seeing the yorkie down the street from me. I'm trying my best to be a good wingdog okay. I attract all the girls for him on the street, he just doesn't know what to do. loser. You know how I know he is pathetic though? He loves these so called bacon wrapped hot dogs. I must admit, even though he only gave me one bite, it was amazing. A hot dog, wrapped in bacon, onions, mustard, and mayonnaise. My tail is wagging just thinking about it. Whenever my master walks me, my nose has noticed an increase frequency of these carts. They seem to be popping up more frequently Downtown, around the strip club on olive and 8, staples center, outside of gopher, and j-lounge. (Hey a dog knows where to go out too) What really irritates us is HOW THEY EVADE US. He murmurs to me in frustration about how he can find these hots dogs drunk, but yet he can't find them sober. It irritates me because being walked at 12am... it's cold. If you see a weird guy and a dog, we both are sniffing for the strong smell of bacon and onions and we can not find it! Drunk, they pop up everywhere he keeps telling. They are in his face the moment he steps out of the "club." (yea okay, like you go to clubs loser) Hell he said he drives by 3-4 of these carts when he's the designated drunk driver. I don't understand though, isn't it 1-2am when one leaves a club? Dogs dont know what a club is but he always comes home stumbling at that time, he smells weird, and making all that noise when I'm trying to sleep! Master has proclaimed to his friends, bacon wrapped hot dog taste just as good sober than drunk (but of course drunkardness and hunger is the two best seasoning combined). Hell one can eat unfrozen boca burger and it would taste good while drunk. I admit, my owner gave me some beer. "Gave" is a strong word.... more like spilled it and I licked it off the floor. It was amazing. Kibble never tasted so good. One tip though. Don't be fooled by the non-english speaking mexican making the hot dog. They truly understand the most important aspect of economics and that is supply and demand. These dogs are roughly 4-6$ outside of clubs, but if you walk further down the street where it isn't so crowded and taxis/cops aren't everywhere, you might find the one extroverted cart. It's where the new guy is training the new worker. These dogs are cheaper. 2-4$. Btw, I'm still greatly offended my master loves something that has the word "dog" in it. When he just brought me home as a pup, he mentioned getting bacon wrapped hot dogs on the phone after the club.... i hid under the bed for weeks. read more

Just had the best danger dog in LA. It's right outside the Golden Gopher. Saturday night. Has to be from the amigo in the white t-shirt, or it doesn't count. Catch this before it's vamos. read more

Danger Dogs - a man preparing food on a grill - Food Stands Near Me - Los Angeles, California

DO NOT...I repeat...DO NOT get the chili pepper on top of your danger/dirty dog! I thought my mouth was going to explode. No joke. Unless you were born to be a pepper, don't do it. Other than that...dirty dogs are pretty delicious. I had my first one tonight (I know...where have I been??). I think $4 is kind of a rip-off, but hey...beats having to drive drunkenly somewhere else to get food! *MORNING-AFTER EDIT* "Unless you were born to be a pepper" ?? Sometimes I don't even understand myself... read more

MMMMmmm... daaaanger dogs... the skeezy antidote to the drunken spew. Sooooo deleeecious for the ride home. I once ate one that disappeared mid-bite. Oh noooos! So sad! Time to stumble out of the backseat, and what's that? Something warm and saucy on my foot? I found you, lost and delicious friend! I shall consume your remnants in the glorious culmination you truly deserve. Oh joy! read more

I pray that there will be some kind of breakthrough for danger dogs in the very near future. Whether it be in the medical field or through some kind of diet fad.. I just need SOMETHING (besides drunken munchies) to justify my want to eat these bacon-wrapped miracles all day and night. I don't know about the rest of you, but getting danger dogs is (more often than not) the best part of my night out on the town. Dodging metro-sexual "men" in head-to-toe bedazzled, designer duds at some douchey club blasting 50 Cent/Cyndi Lauper mash-ups all night can really take a toll on one's emotions/appetite. That's where these beauties come in.. As soon as you step foot outside the club, the smell is everywhere.. bacon, hot dogs, onions, jalapenos, mayo, mustard, the works...ahhhhhh... I try to be modest and order 2 at a time, but if it were socially acceptable, I would just lift the entire cart and pour everything into my mouth. The nightly checklist before my roommate and I depart goes as follows: - car keys- check - ID- check - cell phone- check - hot dog money- DOUBLE check At $4 a pop, they're pretty inexpensive. And sometimes if the stars align just right, the people selling them will throw you an extra one even if you're short a dollar or two!... In all fairness though, it's probably out of pity.. seeing 2 grown girls drunkenly sob over hot dogs is never a pretty sight... 5 STARS!!!! read more

Hot Dog - Check Bacon - Check Hot Dog Bun - Check Slightly to 'Cab Worthy' Drunk - Check (right?) Wrap said hot dog with bacon. Grill. Place into a toasted hot dog bun. Add 'the works' (grilled onions, mayo, mustard, ketchup). Eat. Repeat as necessary. Make sure you pay AFTER the dog is in your hands or you might get left with and empty stomach and $3 dollars less than you had before you ordered if they see a Sheriff! Cops are now taking their carts/food and replacing them with hefty fines if they get caught so keep an eye out because you might turn around to find a cloud of dust where the nice hispanic lady with your food used to be. Found out the hard way...there were trampled uncooked bacon wrapped hot dogs on the floor and moaning cries of patrons echoing in the night... read more

At one point it was so rare to find these, and because of that, you yearned for that bacon wrapped loveliness. But now they've gone bizzerk with amount of dirt doggy vendors, that it became normal. The fact that dirty dogs (Danger dogs) are so common now it makes me miss the regular hot dog. The other night, I went to Pink's with Johndizzo and Perry with the intention of eating 2 hot dogs. I decided eating a hot dog burrito. After devouring that, i felt a big incomplete. I mean, damn, i was full, and my boys were full as well. and we got to talking about how Dirt Dogs is a crazy competition for places like this. Out of fullness, i said, "Dude, i miss a plain hot dog with ketchup and mustard" They both agreed. as wonderful as these bacon-wrapped lovelies are, smothered in blankets of grilled onions, and peppers, salsa, and mayo..... nothing really beats a regular hot dog......!!!!!!!!!! no offense.......!!!! read more

They used to be good when they were made from relatively real meal. For the past few years all I am seeing are the impressively thick, but absolutely disgusting textured hot dogs. It's like meat paste in a tube. The bacon makes it better, but the hot dog is pure crap. Do yourself a favor and don't eat these things unless you can find someone who is using the smaller, but higher quality hot dogs. Better yet, go to a real 24 hour restaurant of which there are many in Los Angeles (especially if Korean is your thing). read more

Why go to Pink's when you have 4 hot dog ladies after a major sporting event or concert? This mighty mighty hot dog is wrapped in bacon and possibly is carrying hep c! You can't call yourself adventurous until you try these dogs! All kidding aside, they are very delicious and haven't ever gotten sick on one *knock on wood* read more

a night you could shimmy-shay your way to the street vender cart and demand for some bacon wrapped hot dogs. and put as much mustard and mayo as you wanted. and tried to avoid the flying condiments from landing on your shoe. a night where the cocktails were mostly alcohol with a splash of something non-alcoholic for plausible deniability. then drinking straight from the bottle when deniability got beaten down with an empty bottle of ketal. stumbling through the corridor, feeling the vibe of your friends around you, then stepping into a place where the bass was so loud it pulsates so internal organs hummed by themselves. where the dance floor felt like an ex-lover pissed at you for all the things you did wrong, but still willing to look the other way when it came down to it. and just as raw and fun. a night where the discussion of standing still was ripped completely off the table, put into a cardboard box, and donated to a garage sale benefiting "suck". replaced in its place was a shiny metal pole and some wrinkled dollar bills. and all that was left was the movement of shoes, of bodies, of bouncing people. puking or heaving on driveways, in toilets, with a joker smile and maniac laughter. secrets told, feelings revealed, smiles shared, concerns distributed. lighting up, all you want, all you can, in the back alleys, walking and talking to random actors and strangers and seeing where it could all go. mostly it went puff puff into the air and into your soul. a night you could pick up and lick and call her "maimi". and laugh about drunken texts, conversations, the phone calls, and the late night impromptu food. a night where the company of the people was the best part of it all. and of course, second best was the bacon wrapped dogs. read more

Delicious, delicious danger dogs. Their ability to make themselves seem like the size of a Costco hot dog with 5x the toppings when you're drunk make them more than worth the $5 or whatever. Next time I'm going to make sure to be more lucid so the cart guys don't give themselves a $15 tip from my change! read more

Whenever I think of LA I think of Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs. Seriously makes my mouth water. lol. When I was a little girl I always dreamed of opening my own hotdog cart in LA, haha well now that im older, um f**k that ill just eat them and bounce. lol nothing is better then shopping around the alley and stopping by one of these carts. Even though they are so bad for you I cant help getting my hotdog wrapped with bacon, a little onions, and a little mayo. TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA, ITS THE PLACE TO BE. lol =) read more

You were supposed to be the designated driver and still wound up drinking a couple of drinks. You're not even buzzed, but you don't want to take a chance with the cops and what better way to kill some extra time than by hanging out with your boys and scarfing down some delicious bacon-wrapped hot dogs complete with ketchup, mayo, mustard, grilled onions and bell peppers at $3-$4 a pop! If you haggle with the amigo/amiga serving the dogs you can get away with being short a few bucks if you're rolling deep and need to feed your whole crew. These danger dogs aren't limited to just the club scene. I've done alot of shopping in downtown L.A. in the warehouse district and danger dog carts are on multiple corners. Haggle with them and $3 will get you a danger dog and a can soda!!! read more

The streets make the best hot dogs! Bacon wrapped hot dogs, toasted bun, mayo, onions, and bell peppers. Greatest thing to eat when I leave the club. SO GOOD! read more

If I could give this a million stars, I would! oOoOoh it's death in a bun, but SO SO SO good. I think I will write this review for all the hot-dog carts in the area... read more

5 stars for danger dogs!!! and the women that stay out late cooking, waiting for us to get out of the club/bar, stumbling. An L.A. tradition. Con todo, por favor! read more

i always associate danger dogs with hollywood or a night at the club. this could be one of the BEST ways to end a ridiculous night. danger dogs are just that...DANGEROUS. why? because it's a hot dog wrapped in bacon (as if hot dogs weren't unhealthy already) and they are served from a little cart with a built in grill concoction. god knows how long those hot dogs have wallowing in their fatty juices and god knows where that bacon came from! but really, god knows why we love danger dogs so much and keep coming back for more and more. they usually range from $3-$4 and come with a variety of toppings. a typical cart will have grilled onions and peppers, ketchup, mustard, and mayo. i always stay away from the mayo because then you're just asking for trouble. first of all, mayo on a hot dog? no thanks. second of all, isn't mayo supposed to be refrigerated?! read more
