While we still don't know whose responsible for The Teddy Bear Murder, our flickr detectives have their cameras on a new local quandary: which street vendors have the best bacon wrapped hot dog? LAist seems to always come upon the dog vendor right in front of a bar after we've drank ourselves into oblivion. The greasy smell of onions and bacon fat tempts us every time but, we must confess, we've been too scared to try one.
What do we know of the pork powerhouse? Is it a true So. Cal. delicacy or have you seen it elsewhere? And, if you are one of the brave souls to try one of these monstrosities, where did you, how did you, and what did it taste like?
Something about this beast in a bun just seems so wrong to us. We have friends that won't eat chicken and eggs together and while we will happily do that, eating pig wrapped in fried pig just seems like the end of civilized dining.
We also love the movie Babe and its sequel more than the average person so maybe we're just weird.

Oh yes! The ever-present "street sausage," I can rarely resist the siren's-smell of the little bastards after a Saturday-night of sulking at Bar Sinister on Cherokee...
One word of advice: mustard, mayo, and katsup can really do a number to your finer "gothwear."
I've never tried one of them because I'm scared too. For some reason, I think it's a Mexican thing. The first people I met who ate them like this were from Guadalajara. I was disgusted too.
once, my friends and i tried to get one outside of the knitting factory but the vendor ran away, leaving the dogs in the care of some random security guard who was completely inept at his new-found job. he burned the buns, refused to serve us even though we paid the vendor who ran off and repeatedly yelled "these onions are fucking me up!"
i can't remember if we got our dog or not. but this encounter has been burned in the collective memory of me and my friends and i can't pass a hot dog cart without yelling "these onions are fucking me up" and then apologizing to the nearby children.
ha ha ha.
I should change the title of this post to "These Onions are Fucking Me Up".
I used to indulge in these tasty treats when I lived in El Segundo. Every Thursday at the Farmer's Market it was a tough choice between the Pig Wrapped Pig in a Bun or the barbecue pulled-pork sandwiches. It was truly porkalicious.
Hey guys/gals "If you don't like'm Join'm"
Or get a Taco.
i remember bacon-wrapped hot dog stands started popping up in the mission nabe of SF before i moved here, about 4 years ago. you'd get off BART and that smell would hit you. well, that and the smell of piss. not surprisingly, i myself have never felt the urge to try one. if you've got el farolito, why would you?
grabbing one before a Kings(RIP)game I figured saved me hundreds on concessions over the years
but usually since I'm around IO West/Star Shoes I hit that one. Convenience
It'll at least tide me til I can hit a Del Taco or something :)
These shits are the bomb!
I would also like to say: the grilled-chili garnish makes my heart and stomach melt.
HAHAHA, yeah these onions are fucking me up!
My friends and I have never tried one, but I think it's because we gave them the name Death Dogs.
to the person from SF, who cares about your fucking BART experience. this is about LA. keep it that way.
