Illustrated Anatomy of the LA Hot Dog

Danger be Danged!

The L.A. Hot Dog is objectively delicious. You take a delicious thing (a hot dog), wrap it with another delicious thing (bacon), and top it with more delicious things (grilled peppers and onions). Then, douse the whole thing with still more delicious things (mustard, mayo, ketchup). Combine the above with a very .... hungry ... 2 A.M. audience, and you have a winning recipe. 

This print is my homage to the humble "Danger Dog," so named for its slightly informal method of manufacture. The print breaks down the hot dog's anatomy, ingredients, and construction in a simple, attractive print that's perfect for hanging in bars, offices, food carts, pushcarts, kitchens, and more. It makes a great gift for the Angeleno in your life. It pairs perfectly with a copy of my hot dog journal, 33 Hot Dogs.

Make it a Combo

I have two more hot dog prints for the real frankfurter fiends. Combine my L.A. print with the Chicago Hot Dog print and the N.Y. Hot Dog print for a diet-destroying, budget-friendly combination.

Add Your Own Frame

Anatomy of the Los Angeles Hot Dog is an easily-frameable 8 x 10 inch (20 x 25.4 cm) print - a super common size. Off-the-shelf frames are available at Target, IKEA, or even better - your friendly neighborhood frame shop!

Fresh-Pressed in Portland

This open-edition print was printed by hand, with love, on  a gluten-powered, hand-fed 1909 Chandler & Price letterpress using soy-based inks. Each color used requires a separate trip through the press. This print uses three inks: a mustard yellow, vibrant pepper green and a hot red (for the red hot).

American-made French Paper

The poster is printed on 100% recycled (30% PCW), chlorine-free French brand paper, made in Niles, Michigan. If you're as big a paper nerd as you are a hot dog nerd, you'll want to know that it's 125# Muscletone in Starch White Cover Stock.
