 interesting place, movie / film / TV location, hot dog stand
Paul Pink started his hot dog stand in 1939. Pink's chili dogs, complete with a large warm bun, oversized hot dog, mustard, onions and thick chili sold for 10 cents each at corner of La Brea and Melrose sixty-five years ago (709 North La Brea Avenue)! After over 60 years in business, the walls of Pink's are lined with photos of the many Hollywood celebrities who have dropped by at 1 AM or so to grab one of their famous 10-inch chili dogs. It's still a mom & pop kind of place, although the great chili dogs now cost over $2.00, and they sell over 2,000 a day. Paul Pink turned the humble hot dog into a million dollar business, before he died in March of 1996.

One secret to Pink's success is their unusual hours: Pink's is open seven days a week, from 9:30 AM to 2 AM. On weekends, they stay open until 3 AM for night owls in search of a quick snack. No credit cards accepted. For more information, customers can contact (323) 931-4223.

The exterior was used as a filming location for S1E5 of the Netflix series "The Lincoln Lawyer".
