I can't believe I forgot

There were a few things that I waned to accomplish during my unemployment. When you are employed there are a lot of things you can't enjoy because they are open during the time you are working.

• Ride the subway. CHECK (The Hollywood and Vine Station is covered with film canisters. see pictured)
• Go to China Town and eat dimsum.CHECK
• Set foot on the Paramount Lot. CHECK. Which I did once because I had an interview for one of the 17 jobs I applied to there.

There were actually a few things I didn't get the chance to do like go to the new addition to LACMA called BCAM. I did do a tour of the outside installations but didn't go inside. I also wanted to learn a new language but didn't get to that either.

The one thing I had to do before I started working and made a point to not forget. Do you know what is coming?.......

I had to get eat a hot dog at Pink's.
Here is me enjoying a simple ketchup and mustard. I say simple because there are some crazy gut busting creations offered at Pinks. click here . Being a Chicago girl I had to scoff at their attempt at a Chicago style dog.

Any one who has ever had a Chicago dog knows that it comes on a poppy seed bun, has relish, mustard, pickles, onion, tomato, sport peppers and my favorite celery salt. This didn't have half the toppings and it was a Polish not a dog.

I thought Pinks was fine. A hot dog is a hot dog is a hot dog, but I will always have a special place in my heart for a Chicago Style Dog.
