One thing
not to do when visiting There is a site devoted to America's hot dog stands, and about Oki Dog they offer this (and more) - Hands down, the weirdest hot dog in LA It should be noted the whole area, from where it used to stand to the new location, is both heavily Jewish and the
heart of the Russian immigrant community here, so pastrami burritos are a specialty - fried pastrami, sautéed cabbage, onions
and peppers, mustard and pickles, and a healthy dose of Oki chili. And Oki chili seems to be whatever canned stuff they can
find discounted by any restaurant supply wholesaler. The dish in question is the eponymous Oki Dog. It is massive and terrible to behold. Start with two hot dogs, boiled
into rubbery submission, a corpse of a corpse. Add perfect squares of shining American cheese, and bury them in predigested-looking
canned chili. Then, the pastrami. A slab of gristly pink pastrami joins the grease mound, and everything is wrapped in a massive
tortilla, a tortilla upon which the face of Jesus will never appear. The face of Elvis, perhaps, but not Jesus. And that's putting it kindly. The Oki Dog is apropos of nothing. A non sequitur. The sum of incongruent parts that add up to Okinawan audacity.
Of course
that sound a little better. |
