    I remember it! The sequel wasn't so great though.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Yeah, definitely not the greatest (but pretty close) my most vivid memory of the first movie is actually the video for Dark Side, they played it on MTV, by John *something* and the Beaver Brown Band, Michael Pere’ lip-synched to the song in the movie.

    Good stuff.

    The filmmaker just opened a yummy hotdog restaurant near me called Marty D's.

    If it ain't 8 inches...it ain't Marty D's!

    My dad has a giant wood framed photo from the movie.

    Yes, I've gone twice. Loved it both times. Once I just got a chili cheese dog. I saw a person before me get one, and I was just drooling at the mouth.

    The second time I got the Chicken Italian Sausage. That was fantastic. Both times I went when I was going to the Troubadour. I need to get over to that area more often now. :p

    Next I'll try the Kosher Dogs with carmelized onions and saurkraut. That sounds good right about now since I'm late to lunch!

    I have, I believe. I think it's flavor of India? That one?

    If so yes I have. It was on a reccomendation from a co-worker. I had the Tandoori Chicken and it was mighty fine eatin. I'm a novice when it comes to Indian food though so I'm not sure what to try.

    Tandoori is good, but the chicken tikka masala is better.....chicken chunks in a spicey masala/tomato-based sauce.

    All right, thanks for the suggestion. I wrote it down and stuck a note in my wallet to remind me next time I'm over there. Thanks for that.

    Well I'm a bit biased and they're more of just smaller local places I ate at growing up, so the tourists aren't around. But depending on what you'd want:

    Mexican - Casa Gamino over on Brookhurst and Ball Rd. My favorite place to eat growing up as a kid. I always have loved their mexican food. Plus it was easy for me to get as I grew up right across the street. :p

    Italian - Mama Cozza's off of Ball Road. Just East of Brookhurst.

    Then there's also Cortina's Italian Deli. It's a walk in with some tables on Orange right near Brookhurst as well.

    Those are a few of the local staples here since everything is being bought out for touristy places.

    If you want some other flavors as well just let me know.
