A delightful new outdoor dining experience has landed on Santa Monica Blvd. in West LA.  You could easily miss it if you weren’t looking, but set in the back of an empty lot at 11819 Santa Monica Blvd. is Empire Hotdog.  The food truck has build a clever home for itself in a park-like setting complete with tables and chairs and a large LED screen, that at the time I visited, was showing Shakira videos.  Grab a burger and a drink and sit under the stars marveling that such a place even exits in busy West LA.
