They make their own hot dogs, which are free from a lot of the junk that's in many hot dogs (hormones, nitrates, etc), and they get their...

NYSF IN LA: SLIDERS FROM BABY’S BADASS BURGERS

On this trip to LA, I’m working in Burbank right across from the Warner Bros lot.  By asking around, I found out there’s a place on Alameda near Bob Hope Drive where 2 trucks usually park each day.  It’s about a 10 minute walk each way, which is fine for a New Yorker who walks everywhere.

With the opening of the new Coolhaus truck in NY later this week, they held a press event at the end of last week.  Even though I tried Coolhaus on my trip to L.A. in January, I only had a chance to try one flavor, so this was a welcome opportunity to get more acquainted with Coolhaus before they...
