Final farewell from wiener fans, jek in the box, Flickr

A reader laments the loss of Sherman Oaks favorite hot dog stand, the Wiener Factory, which closed after 36 years, and curses its replacement Pinkberry:

You know. It's those little places like Wiener Factory that keep a neighborhood together. Not pinkberry. They closed Dec 31 at 6 pm. I was one of the last ones. They had amazing cole slaw and cheese dogs. Its not Pinks, but that was our Pinks. I want to see them move Pinks for a HUGE Pinkberry. I heard that the landlord asked for more money from the Wiener Factory knowing that will squeeze them out.

There's a new place that just opened this week, and I've been back for seconds already and brought some friends. It's the first Curreyworst I had outside of Germany ever... and it was good. They have venison brats, all sorts. It's called Brats Brothers. Nice guys Roland and Peter run it. They took over a nice little place that used to be Jacques Cafe. Still clean tho.. i told them to get a mud fight going inside."
