Pinks hotdogs!

I got the CP dog and the onions were not fried. they were diced. The CP dog was great though. Love that sauerkraut.

One of the dogs, actually a spicy polish dog has grilled onions. I don't remember the name that one.

Pink's is legendary, and this is the only location east of Nevada. $8 is a fair price, and cheaper than a flight to California.

Just because it's legendary doesn't mean it's good. I've been to a few of those, "This is a place you have to try it has the best..." or a "this is the most famous place in the world for..." places around the country and I was underwhelmed at most of them. Primanti Bros in Pittsburgh comes immediately to mind as an extremely overrated expierence.

While I haven't tried the "legenday" Pinks dogs yet I probably will.

Stick with the hot dogs...the burgers seem to be just a side thought. Proportionately, the dogs were a much better deal.

Pinks is good. They do have some problems making the food right though. I ordered a chili dog. They asked me if I wanted onions and mustard. I tolf them no. Guess what was on my hot dog. ONIONS AND MUSTARD! Other than that, it was OK.

I think one of the normal dogs also have grilled onions, too. I want to say it's a New York something or the other.

Do you think the fries taste as good as Berardi's did when they were there?

You may as well ask if Krispy Kreme donuts are as good as the donuts at the 1939 World's Fair. When did Berardi's pull out, 1978? That is a long time to keep a solid 'flavor memory'.

Went to Pinks a couple weeks ago only to discover they changed their "double feautre" to be just two plain hot dogs in a single bun. Considering it used to include chili, onions, and cheese, this is quite a shame.

Maybe they were causing too many heart attacks.

Or CP doesnt want to get blamed or sued for serving very unhealthy dishes and not people being able to fit on the rides anymore! :)

Beradi's is still in Sandusky i went there like 2 weeks ago its just not in CP anymore.

I cant wait to eat here August 10th!!!

Wow. I also want to try pinks hot dogs. It is really not hidden that everybody seems to like hot dogs. Maybe this is the reason why we have now many hot dog makers and why those hot dog makers are doing everything to be on top of the "best hot dogs" list. The hot dog war is on for Kraft and Sara Lee and it is now being held inside of the courtroom. Here is the proof: Three-year hot dog debate ends up in court.

My family and I went to Pinks on Saturday for lunch. Wow what horrible food. I cant believe people actually think the hot dogs are good!!

I know it is my opinion but I was just amazed at how bad the hot dogs were!! I am glad I live in Chicago!!

Was it the hot dogs themselves or the toppings that you didn't like? Just wondering.

It was the hot dogs. The toppings were fine and necessary to cover the taste of the hot dog.

I went to a Pink's in California and didn't think they were all that great. Then again I prefer Nathen's in New York. Plus Pink's is completely overpriced at the point. CP home to the $14 subway footlong.

My take was that Pinks is not about the dog, it's about the toppings. The dog is just there as "filler".

I couldn't have said it better. It's all about the combination of toppings. The menu emphasizes the extras more than the hot dog itself, and so does the presentation.

I would rather pay $8 for a Pink's hotdog than $14 for a footlong sub that you could get at any Subway in almost any town in the country.
