I’m currently out in L.A. again. Pasadena to be exact. The other day we stopped to eat at an awesome place called the Dog Haus. I’m a big fan of hot dogs and this place is like a Wiener Nirvana. As always, I order way too much to eat. And yet, I finish it. I think I’m still full and I ate this like two days ago! So what’d I get this time? Well, besides …

Ever since I wrote about Hostess Snack Cakes going bankrupt, I just haven’t had a reason to smile. Even Mega Stuff Oreos can’t get the job done.
