Torrance Roadium's spin on an American classic: hot dogs
Hot dogs are a staple of Fourth of July cookouts. No wonder July is National Hot Dog Month. In honor of the all-mighty wiener, the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council conducted a national poll confirming a strong link between hot dogs and sports -- especially baseball. The poll listed hot dogs as fans' favorite stadium fare. We're lucky to live close by to Dodger Stadium, which ranked fourth on a list of the best stadium frankfurters. A Dodger Dog and an order of the stadium's greasy, extra-strong garlic fries ... heavenly. Premium baseball eats.
The Roadium in Torrance is a South Bay hot spots for hot dogs. The open air market's dogs have a regional twist; they're topped with grilled onions and a whole jalapeƱo. The Roadium is open this Independence Day weekend, so you can come by and sample one of their dogs while browsing the vendors' goods.
If you're a Wienerschnitzel fan, you'll want to head over to the one at 900 W. Pacific Coast Highway in Wilmington. This is the very first Wienerschnitzel location. It's almost 50 years old and still kickin'. Mark your calendars for July 15, when the chain will be giving away free chili dogs and ice cream cones.
