Cupcakes n Hotdog Reunion tour!!

Ok so back in September my great friend Sarah and I took a road trip down to LA for three things 1. Sprinkle's Cupcakes 2. Pink's Hotdogs 3. See my best friend Rich. Yes, in case you are wondering that was the priority level of all three as well! We'd heard a lot about how amazing Sprinkle's cupcakes were in Beverly Hills and you all know my love of the buttercream and cake so the fact that we had to stand outside an hour and half outside to get them was a no brainer! We happened to pass another cupcake shop along the way called Crumbs with no lines and ended up hitting that on the way back. Let me tell you Crumbs wins hands down so that was the cupcake destination for the 2nd road trip. Apparently Pink's is a popular celebrity hotdog joint that has amazing hotdogs. Hotdogs would be the 2nd thing on our top food list so we had to check it out. We were so amazed and in hotdog heaven that it quickly jumped to the #1 reason for the 2nd roadtrip!
With this background information I can now discuss the 2nd roadtrip, that I have to honestly say in my opinion outshined the 1st one! One of the great things was my new phone has GPS on it and what a life saver it was! We got where we needed to go without getting lost once it was great! We did not mess around and got straight to business the 1st day there. We walked Hollywood blvd. and did the wax and Guinness museum tours. I did provide some pictures. Not the greatest wax jobs, but it killed some time! While we were walking the strip we got free tickets to be part of the "According to Jim" TV show. We were pumped. A little factoid I was not aware of before this was that its not a quick event. We had to be there at the taping for 5 hours. So if any of you ever want to do that, just keep in mind its kind of an all day or night thing! The show will air in Jan. Back to the good stuff. After the blvd. walk we went to Pink's I truly believe I heard Angles singing from the roof tops when we got there! Keep in mind that you wil have at least a half hour wait at this joint, but it is well worth it! The craziest things are put on hotdogs and people love it (yes the thing that looks like a burrito that my friend Rich is eating is really a hotdog!) Their french fries defintely deserve an award for the greasiest yet crispiest bites of heaven! You know you've had a successful Pink's visit when you walk out holding your gut with your pants undone! The next day we hit up Universal Studios which was a lot of fun and Crumbs! Believe it or not though I did not actually purchase one cupcake for myself! I think I was still in buttercream and cake overload from my birthday! They are divine though and worth every cent 375 cents to be exact! So anyone going to LA anytime soon I highly recommend a stop at Pink's Hotdogs for lunch and dessert at Crumbs! And don't forget your GPS it will save your life! Stay tuned for road trip part three!!
