"Earle’s started as a mobile hot dog cart, and 30 years later, this South LA landmark has grown into a busy lunch counter that splits and grills its dogs for maximum flavor. We usually go with their spicy beef link, but their vegan dogs have a cult following, too. Topping selection is vast, and you can smother any dog with thick housemade chili, sauerkraut, or tomato-y NYC-style onions—or all three if you want. To drink, there's their equally famous lemonade/Kool-Aid mixture known as Playas Punch." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, andrew ryce
