By 7:35 p.m. the Pink’s tent had passed out its supply of 1,000 hotdogs! Despite the large crowds and long lines, Aileen Watanabe, director of social media and catering for Pink’s, says the giveaway “went very well.” A shout out to some very polite and organized Los Angeles Police Department cadets who kept the lines orderly and moving. Watanabe says the giveaway was a joint venture with the hot dog producer Hoffy, Pink’s, and the office of Los Angeles City Councilman Tom LaBonge.
