Last August when Asiadog popped up in Los Angeles--from Brooklyn--at Bigfoot Lodge West, they sold out of hot dogs in the first 2 hours. This time around, the 2 New Yorkers who operate the mobile restaurant, Steve Porto and Melanie Campbell, say they'll have more hot dogs to match with their kimchi and Japanese curry when they pop up at Tony's Saloon 7 - 11 p.m. If you want a pop icon visual aid, you can see Martha Stewart's street-food-photo-op take on Asiadog here. Knockaround Sunglasses giveaways as well.
