Getting in touch with our inner degenerates!

• Restaurant Fiction podcast host Monis Rose is here to wax romantic over the "character" of the original Hot Dog on a Stick kiosk by the Santa Monica Pier
• There's nowhere to sit, so the boys pick a dragon/pirate ship playground as their venue
• Public beachside seating has empty beer bottles and even a used Magnum love glove nearby...
• Military helicopters are circling us overhead and it makes us ask What's Going On Over There?
• Harrison Augustine 💸 Arrylius XIV talks about the recreational drug habits of the ultra-wealthy
• Monis has a thing for hot Hot Dog on a Stick chicks
• Overhyped "hand-stomped" lemonade, decent corn dogs, and polarizing dessert in the form of funnel cake sticks
• Juicy, Jr. defends himself against Monis
• Monis's score spectrum deals in extremes
• JUB & Petunia re-unite!

Next week on "Fine" Dining: Friendly's (Eat Deets)! I've invited season 1's totally-not-made-up sponsor JUB to New England with me to hit a staple of a different part of the country. But does he even show up to record? He's on-edge and unreliable, so we'll see as I dive into Yelp reviews and the history of the brother-owned franchise. Ever work at Friendly's?
