Vintage Local Action:
Bigger Than A Dodger Dog®

Have seen this oddity at both its prior locations, yet (as w/ the Powerhouse a few items down) never spent a dime there. (Hey, at least when I lived near world-famous Pink's I et there a few times, but Pink's somehow became the world's greatest tourist trap & is in no danger of disappearing any time before the Pacific rolls in via the flood control system & reclaims the basin, which, coincidentally, is about when my next visit's penciled in. Ha: Old person reference.) But why eat when you can look?

The Pup is one of few remaining examples of L.A.'s tradition of stucco* constructs resembling bigger than life Hollywood versions of what's consumed inside them; The Pup's facade being shipped to Vegas to rehab for a while is pure Hollywood. No doubt it'll be back, bigger & better than ever. (Like patron Robert Downey Jr.)Yikes, Veloz & Yolanda. That's Show Biz w/ a capital B. & a capital S.

*Science marches on: The Dog looks like 1946 fiberglass.
