text: While on a Business trip to Pittsburgh I got to mark off my 4th Hot Dog restaurant that was featured on the PBS \"A Hot Dog Show\" \n( The previous 3 = Skin Thrasher's - Anderson, SC, Pinks, LA,Ca, American Coney Island.).\n\n Lets just say that Pinks has nothing to worry about being Dethroned from #1 in my world. I went in on a Wednesday around 11am'ish and there was maybe 5 other people in the place already eating and I was the only one at the ordering counter and  ordered the All Beef wt onion, Chili & cheese and paid -$5.96, and at a separate counter ordered a Small order of fries wt Cheese Sauce on the side paying again -$5.92 for a Total of $11.88. Its a weird set up they have going paying at each counter but I guess there is a method to their madness and whatever works for them.\n\nThe Hot Dog did have a snap to it as advertised but it was overall just another Hot Dog and nothing special. The French fries did live up to its \"as advertized\" HUGE portion but over all I wasnt impressed with them considering some of the reviewers here saying they were the \"Best they have ever had\". The fries didnt even come close to the fries we made getting out of school in the 9th Grade and going over to my neighbors house and making fries in the \"Fry Daddy\" (Remember THAT sweet appliance?) We use to make them thick Steak House cut, Medium & thin cut and damn we had that shit down!! Now those were the BEST fries I have ever had.\n\nSo overall I say: Over priced & over rated Nationally. I dont know what the competition is locally in Pittsburgh so I'm not going to shoot anyone down in flames or step on any toes and I'll leave that to what the locals have to say here & as featured on \"A Hot Dog Show\".
