Pink’s Hot Dogs’ 85 Anniversary Festivities with Richard Pink

SoCal Restaurant Show

“Pink’s Hot Dogs, the iconic Hollywood hot dog stand, is currently celebrating its 85th-anniversary festivities, marking over eight decades of serving mouthwatering hot dogs to Angelenos, celebrities, and visitors alike from around the world.”

“Located on the corner of La Brea and Melrose, designated as "Pink’s Square," they are celebrating their 85th anniversary from November 8 to 12, 2024. The five- night celebration features appearances by celebrities and notable figures (including the Mayor of Los Angeles and Henry Winkler,) as well as Pink’s signature "Chili Dogs for Charity" program, benefiting local Los Angeles charities.”

“As part of the celebration, Pink’s is offering chili dogs for 85 cents for 85 minutes each night at 8:05 p.m. starting on November 8th for 5 nights as part of the "Chili Dogs for Charity" program (with a limit of 5 hot dogs per customer). This initiative, close to the hearts of the Pink family, is their way of giving back to the community that has supported them through the decades. Proceeds will benefit local Los Angeles charities. The Pink family —Richard Pink, his wife Gloria, and his sister Beverly (2nd generation owners) — are donating 100% of the gross proceeds from these sales to a different charity each night, with a minimum donation of $5,000 per night”

The festivities launched last night with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass as the guest celebrity. The celebration concludes on November 12th with noted actor Henry Winkler.
