I did a little recon last week for our Hot Dog Death March and visited Oki-Dog, where I met the owner, who is an enormously pleasant, but surprisingly not enormous, gentleman who looks like he stumbled out of a Cheech & Chong flick and swore next time I showed up he’d buy my Oki Dog.

THERE WILL BE A TEST (I’m not kidding), so familiarize yourself with Oki-Dog now: check out the flickr set. Take copious notes.

    Voila, an Oki Dog. Would be a good candidate for This is why you’re fat.

    MUST TARD.

    For me it’s all about the Oki Pastrami Burrito, with extra fried egg inside.

    Scary. I think I need like 3-5 other people with whom to split one Oki-Dog.

    @oren: That’s my favorite part. Must Tard? Is that a directive? A statement?

    "Get out of my way! I must tard!" [drools]

    Does this make me mean to differently abled people, if I find this funny?

    Grease the pole, boys–I can’t get to hell fast enough!

    I could be wrong, but I thought I heard that the original Oki Dog was a different place that isn’t around anymore, and this one is not related to the first. Am I way off?


  11. Lucinda Michele (la_michele) on June 11th, 2009 @ 5:42 pm

    @evan: I have no idea, and it needs researching.

    The original "famous punk rock hang out" Oki Dog was at Santa Monica and Vista.

    Even if we are wrong about a lot of things, I know we are correct in that the Oki-Dog we will be going to is infamous.
