Cupid's Hot Dogs

Cupid's Hot Dogs has been owned and operated by three generations of the Walsh family, starting in 1946 when Richard and Bernice Walsh opened their first stand (originally named Walsh's Hot Dogs) in the Valley. Today, Angelenos hankering for a chili dog can visit any of their three locations—Northridge, Simi Valley and Canoga Park—for a top-notch, chili-smothered dog. The menu is short and sweet, with the signature item being the Cupid Dog (mustard, onions, chili) followed by the Triangle (mustard, onions, relish) and the Reuben (mustard, cheese, sauerkraut). There's also a pastrami sandwich on the menu, but you'd be remiss to skip out on a dog here.
