12. California Hot Dog

What makes California hot dogs taste good is pretty simple — bacon. These hot dogs are delicately wrapped in bacon and then blessed with grilled peppers and grilled onions. In San Francisco and Los Angeles, carts selling these California hot dogs aren't difficult to track down.

Pink's Hot Dogs, a legendary stop in Hollywood that's become a must-try destination, has been around since 1939. Their version of the California hot dog is called the LA Street Dog and it adds mayonnaise, ketchup, and jalapenos to the bacon, grilled peppers, and grilled onions. It's even more spectacular than it sounds.
