Do they grill, steam, or boil their dogs? And the thought of having my own dogs made by the meat shops around here. There's a ton of Mexican butcher shops. I was going to just use Hebrew Nationals which are very good dogs, and everyone other than vegetarians can eat them. I was considering keeping a veggie dog because LA has a lot of vegetarians, but really that's sacrilege for hot dog purists. I was also considering doing a beer steamed coney island dog.

Most of the carts in LA are illegal ones and aren't very clean. In downtown, they've rigged up golf carts to make hot dog carts you can drive around. Usually the Mexican carts have a grill and they grill onions, and wrap the dogs in bacon when they cook them. I'm not sure what the health rules are with carrying raw pork around on a cart. My guess is it's not legal. But those dogs are really good and you smell the bacon a block away.

They usually set up these carts outside of clubs so when people are leaving and are hungry from dancing and stuff, they grab a dog.
