Pinks vs. Carneys

I am looking for information comparing Carneys chili dogs and chili hamburgers to Pinks chili dogs and hamburgers. Who uses the best tasting chili between the two? Are Carneys hot dogs the "snappy type"?
I heard that Carneys uses very thick cuts of tomatoes for their burgers and chili dogs. I heard that there are two Carneys, one in the San Fernando Valley and one on the Sunset Strip. Is there any difference between the two?
I am a big chili dog fan. Can anyone recommend any other great tasting chili dogs in the LA area. Thanks for any info.

Pinks is delicious, and worth the effort. The chili is amazing, though nothing like what one would consider traditional chili. Avoid the onion rings though, they're lousy. Also, beware of the spicy polish dog - I love heat, and can eat tabasco straight up, but that thing is so firey I could not finish it.

Carney's makes a superior hot dog, better chili, and doesn't make you have to wait in a hour-long line for it.

Pink's, as far as I can tell, rests entirely on undeserved laurels.

Carney's for sure and their tomatoes are superior.

Give Jody Maroni's a try. They have excellent chilli dogs, all beef, no beans. They also make a great burger called the ABC, avocadoes, bacon and cheese.

Try Jay's Jay Burgers, they have excellent hot dogs that snapp, wonderful chili (not to greasy), and soft bun warm buns! I had 2 on Saturday afternoon, washed it down with a fresh lemonade.

Give Johnnie's at Sepulveda and Washington a try, or any branch of The Hat for chili dogs, although, Pink's will probably win out.

There's a chain of "Weinershcnitzels" in LA. They do a pretty mean chili dog.

You've got to be kidding. I tried Wienerschnizle once, and that was enough!

You're joking, Weinershnitzel puts the "dog" in "dog food." It's rare that I don't finish something, but I tried one once and threw it out after 2 bites.

there is no comparison...... pinks are the real deal..... snappy skins and a nice garlicy taste.....
