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.

I would also like to say: the grilled-chili garnish makes my heart and stomach melt.

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 :)

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?

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.

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.

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.

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."
