Hot dog carts are typically illegal in LA. Anyone whose been to NYC knows that we are missing out, big time. Well, there are a select few men and women brave enough to face down the cops driving by busy intersection to feed their families. I have seen him ticketed once. That may contribute to the cart operator’s extremely sketchy, drug-dealer-like aura — eyes darting about, shoulders hunched, clothing that tries a little too hard to blend in, looking more like a fugitive than an impromptu chef. But that is what makes the experience. The bacon-wrapped condiment-covered dogs themselves are average, except for the taste of freedom baby, freedom. Being drunk also helps.
