"Known as South Los Angeles’s most notable hot dog maker, this Crenshaw Square mainstay traces its roots to brothers Duane and Cary Earle, who began serving hot dogs from a cart in Venice Beach in 1986. After 16 years at a brick-and-mortar on Crenshaw starting in 1992 and a later relocation to Crenshaw and Exposition as Earle’s Grill, the business moved into its current space in 2017 and adopted the permanent name Earle’s on Crenshaw. A new Venice Beach Boardwalk sign points to a homecoming for the brand, though the opening timeline has not been confirmed." - Mona Holmes
