Sun Nov 28 15:37:24 -0800 2004 0 jOHANN pRINCHOT 1 348072 There's a place across Chapman Avenue from Fullerton College that advertises Vienna Beef hotdogs and is called something like "Chicago Phil's" or "Chicago Tony's". Never eaten there, but you might check it out and report back. Sun Nov 28 20:12:41 -0800 2004 348052 0 Dorothy 2 348093 The place of which you speak is "Chicago Harv's" in Fullerton. Good stuff, but I haven't been there in years. Another place which probably has is (although I can't be sure as I have only been there once) is Mustard's in Los Alamitos on Katella.

From what I remember, they have the Vienna beef dogs, poppy seed buns, tomatoes, lettuce, celery salt and the fluorescent relish. Gotta have the fluorescent relish!

But about a year ago, it seemed like something changed in the dog. I can't put my finger on it but the seasoning didn't seem as flavorful. They still pile on all the usual stuff with the relish, poppy seed bun, etc. But I'm no dog expert by any means. So take that for what its worth. Mon Nov 29 20:17:59 -0800 2004 348093 0 Jase 1 348104 There WAS a place named "Street Dogs" in Irvine University Center, but they have closed (and now there's Gelato place there). So, don't go by a Google search there. But, I saw a sign for Haute Dogs in Irvine at the corner shopping center at Main St. and MacArthur Blvd.(where Kokomo's is.) Maybe they have some. Sorry to be so vague and unknowing, but there just aren't many places for Vienna Beef Chicago dogs in OC. There's a very good Italian sausage place in Newport Beach called Sabatino's. More spicy than Vienna. And, there's always Jody Maroni's for a quick fix. In Orange and in the Irvine Spectrum (5 at the 405). http://www.jodymaroni.com/locations.html Mon Nov 29 10:50:44 -0800 2004 348052 0 kc girl 1 348110 This is a subject that comes up often. There is a dearth of Vienna Beef hot dog joints in So Cal. The ones that I can recommend are not in the areas that you requested but they are the "real deal": East Coast Hot Dogs - 19092 Beach Blvd., Suite X, Huntington Beach 714-378-0364. You can get Italian Beef here too. Champs - Los Alamitos Blvd. North of the 405, South of Katella, next to Carl's Jr. Chicago Harv's - Fullerton. Across from Fullerton College Mustards. There are 2 of them: 3630 Katella Ave, Los Alamitos - (562) 598-1662 3387 Atlantic Ave, Long Beach - (562) 427-6435 I understand Portillo's is coming to Southern California in the spring. I don't know where though. And you can always order Vienna Beef hot dog "kits" from www.loutogo.com. You can also get Lou Malnotti's pizza, Carsons ribs and an ever-growing assortment of Chicago foods. I just got their new catalog in the mail. A Vienna Beef hot dog for lunch with a Frango mint for dessert. YUMM! Mon Nov 29 11:57:45 -0800 2004 348052 0 Pate'
