Hawt Dog

hot-dogs.jpg

If, and when, you’re in Los Angeles, Marty D’s should not be missed.  Here are some reasons why:

-Old-school soda fountain
-Incredibly nice staff (Marty himself invited us in!)
-Great selection of condiments (including spicy and sweet mustards, homemade dill relish and onion compote)
-8-inch beef kosher dogs served in a warm, poppy-seed buns
-Candy apple-colored bar
-Premium ice cream and homemade hot fudge (ignore the part on the menu that says to order it if you’re not too hungry though…it’s big).
-Perfectly crisp regular and sweet potato fries

We left the diner excruciatingly full, but we’re already planning a trip back sometime very soon.

Sounds like you had a great time, Emily! I went away for the weekend for my 22nd birthday, and near the hotel we stayed at was this very cool American style diner (I’m in the UK, but dream of living in the US) and this post really reminded me of it!

The sundae looks so yummy :)

Any place serving a hot dog bun other then plain gets my vote. Love that color scheme!

65 Anne @ The City Sage { 02.02.09 at 12:46 pm }

Oh man, this looks like reason enough to take a trip to L.A! The thought of hot fudge is WAY more appealing than the chicken and quinoa I just ate for lunch…

I go to college in LA and a friend and I hit Marty D’s during mid-terms. SUPER DELISH.

LOVE the sweet potato fries most.
