I am glad you discovered my favorite place for Hot Dogs in Los Angeles, I visit the Sunset Blvd location at least twice a months for a couple of Carney’s Dog and a large Dr. Pepper.
Loved it as always. Now for my CRUMMY remark, you do know that some railroad crews referred to the caboose as a Crummy! On that line I'll end my remarks. ☺
Jason from Bountiful here... I grew up in Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley, next to Studio City. A bunch of us would hang out at Carney's on Friday & Saturday nights with our Hot Rods n such in the mid to late 80's. Loved the Dog's there. Glad y'all got to enjoy the food there.
For us it was Don Carlos barbecue on 8th south and state. Nightly car show. Guys would leave, drag race and come back. Later they added the name Arctic Circle as they had been opening other locations by that name but in about 65? Added that to the Don Carlos name. Still lots of them around but the original one was torn down and rebuilt as a regular Arctic Circle in like 1980 or so. And that one closed and was torn down about a year ago. Also little known: Don Carlos and his business partner decided the fast food model could be applied to other services. So they opened a small chain of fast in and out oil change places, jiffy lube. Sold out to Pennzoil for huge money.
I spent my youth and my career in LA. Carney's in Studio City was always a favorite stop for lunch. Carney's, Cupid's and Pink's were always a sure bet for a great dog and you never knew who you might meet in line. When I go "home" to visit, they're always on my list for a lunch. Thanks for the memories!
Ah LA. We have a few more LA look what we found shows coming up. One on the original Fry’s in Burbank and one on the old Lockheed plant. Oh and one on Charlie Chaplin’s studio. Oh and the Chinese Theater. Oh and the little known Bat Man Museum. Oh and one on Venice Beach. Oh and one on........
G'day Train Man, & Karyn! Haha!! Nice pun! Well I've heard, "training in the morning makes you feel better in the long run." Lol! 🤣 By the way, very cool... Carnies Hot Dogs - LAs finest fast food in a train car! Great video! Thank you, guys! Cheers! 🚂✌🏼❤️
G’day! I love that these people have been selling hotdogs for almost 50 years and have no interest in selling or expanding or franchising. Just selling great hotdogs. They were offered 44 million for the sunset location. Nope. Don’t need the money. Just wanna sell hotdogs and soda with paper straws.
@@ToyManTelevision Holy moly... This place not only looks cool, but I've heard, has mouth watering food, to boot! Well as you know, dining in a train car is in itself a unique experience. (looking on google maps) Carney’s is a really neat diner on a train carriage in the centre of a city and the food looks outstanding... placed between lots of very expensive places to get food, but this place is way cooler! Noticed: The best part is they offer sweet potato fried! Yum!! ;-)
I have had a few hot dogs at Carney's over the years at the Sunset Strip Location. I have yet to tat at the Studio City Location but that may change. This is one of the few hot dog stands my partner will eat at. I have to say this is a great place to eat while screwing around.
Yup. Taught at Brooks Institute on the 33. And in Santa Barbara. Later they closed the Santa Barbara campus’s and just had the Ventura campus. Then that closed. Now it’s the new headquarters for Patagonia. Old movie studio. Neat place. But as it down sized they showed me the door. Which looking back is the best thing that ever happened to me. Brooks is starting up again I hear as part of UCSB Go figure. My BDX mustangs were built by Barber Ford by a guy from Camarillo. Alan Crocket.
Onions. Gotta have stinky onions. Tomato’s sure, but if you skip the stinking onions you may as well skip the mustard. Heck skip the whole deal. Gotta have stinky onions.
Actually.. We were in search of the paper straw in California! This happened after several FaceBook posts declaring that if one used a plastic straw in the state of California, one could be arrested! As the old saying goes: Don't believe everything you hear, and only half of what you see... We decided use the trip and do our own research! We had an enjoyable time, as you can see... All while our FaceBook friends were sitting at their computers arguing the point, day after day! We visited many eating establishments, and enjoyed the food. We also took note of whether we were offered a paper straw, a plastic straw, or no straw at all! After 10 eateries, 5 quick snacks, and a Butter Beer served in a mug, our findings concluded only two paper straws! Mine and his! The rest were plastic, but we had to request a straw, or simply choose one from the dispenser. No biggie! Heck! I even got a to-go drink at Micky D's, with a plastic straw, and wasn't arrested by the nice Burbank Police man standing in the parking lot! Now... Back to Universal Studios for Butter Beer!
It is surprising that they have stuck to hot dogs. Too many times places like that start with something at which they are really good and then branch into things at which they are only mediocre. The further they go, the more mediocre they become. Pretty soon they just die off and become an abandoned establishment. Terrific that they know who they are and excel at their specialty and don't get side tracked. Literally and also metaphorically. It always does me good to see that!! Thanx (I love spelling it that way) for showing this to us!!!
They have been offered 44 million for the Sunset location. Nope. Franchise opportunity? Nope. Third location? Not unless a grand child wants to run it. Hotdogs. Simple. Perfect 👌🏼
What a street. I do wonder though, one of the most visited well known streets in LA and they haven’t replaced the sidewalk in about 600 years! You can hear people down in the cracks calling for help
*Laughs*I always wondered of that myself! Feels like that stretch of sidewalk falls between the rich side to the east and the VERY rich side to the west. With each thinking the other side will do it, :-)
"Hot Dogs! Get your red hot Hot Dogs..." I've heard of this place and the "tube steak" is to die for, huh, from. Pass the mustard. None of that chili junk on my frankfurter. The car experience is way cool. Some how I don't think this made it on , "Diners Drive-in and Dives". (Maybe that's a good thing.) Darn you kids! It's ten of nine, PM and now I am craving a hot dog. "Your work here is done." Greg and Jeanne
Oh I’m glad I’m not an Oscar Mayer weenier! That is what I never wanna be! Cause if I was an Oscar Mayer weaner someone’s buns would surely grab hold of me!
Hi. Hate to list it here but on the channel page is a little tiny tinny link to Guys Hobby Shop. (Not really a hobby shop) but there is a contact page. If I post my email bots grab it and I get tons of spam.
Hi,I know that something like this sounds like a joke to people who don't live in California ,but in seems to becoming more and more common place here! The oddball things like paper straws but I believe it's a law. One straw per person and most of the time you have to ask for it ,and there's a fine (large one)attached for handing out of excessive straws . It seems like there's a law against almost everything now days,hope this puts alittle smile on your faces.God Bless. Jeff
Ah the straw wars! In much of cal it is a law. City by city different. Here they now ask if you want one. Not the law but many places just do it. Carnies does it because they think it’s best. Not a law in LA (yet). But when they do Carnies is already set up.
@@ToyManTelevision it's funny I've noticed . I used to live in La area and most people in that area seem to act as if it doesn't abide by the laws or rules of the rest of the country. Keep up your vlogs you've got a good calling as a team you and your loving Wife and a good vehicle TH-cam to deliver the knowledge of your life long stories and love of Trains and there History and other related things.
Dale & Kathryn, you are at it again. That looks like a very cool diner and the dogs look fantastic. I don't want to ONE UP you, but why not. In your Screwing Around make it to Oceano, CA and head to the Rock & Roll Diner on Railroad St. www.rockandrolldiner.com/ The establishment is 2 late 50's era passenger cars. Owners office is in the bullet end of the observation car and the food is fabulous. It is a Greek restaurant catering to every type of food. Their Tri-tip smoked BBQ is a trip to heaven. Close by is the Far Western on the west back side of Santa Maria. This is Beef Knock Out Punch Heaven. They serve a bean dish with a bean variety only grown in Santa Maria and the restaurant is close to the tracks. Now for the killer punch...Philippe-The Original! Home of the French Dip sandwich since 1908...still family run. www.philippes.com/ At 1001 N Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA it is just across the street from Union Station with railroad history running through it veins. A photo in the restaurant shows a passenger locomotive with part of it front truck hanging over a track end retaining wall. Caption reads "Engineers just could not wait for his Philippe's sandwich". All kind of railroad photos, models, memorabilia decorate the interior. Roast Beef, New Zealand lamb, pork, turkey all cooked to perfection. The Au Jous is a 72 hr work of art and the mustard is made to Philippe's recipe 4 times a month. God is it good! Sandwich (no dip, single dip or double dipped) is a foot long french roll loaded with meat of your choice and served with a side of your choice...all for around $8.00. Cup of coffee is 15 cents. They have food service down to an art ensuring quality and flavor. Seating is bench style at rows of long tables. On one side might be a homeless and on the other a corporate mogul. Everyone eats at Philippe's. Try the MUSTARD!!! Sorry, I got carried away. Had a beef J Dawg for lunch today. It hit the spot.
That was very cool. It's always nice to find places like this. Not that long ago they could be found in just about every large town. Now they are few and far between. For years there was a restraint in south Seattle that was a dinning car, with two or three passenger cars around it. The last time I was in the area I don't remember seeing it. About 15 miles away in Bothell there was another one, that was three cars? Four cars? They were the stainless sided passenger cars. There was a dome car, a lounge car, and I'm guessing a dinning car. There were three of them as I remember. All of these cars were setting on sections of track. What was neat about the ones in Seattle they had the car stoppers at the end of the tracks where you could see them.
Have you seen Barstool Station? Er. I mean Barstow. It’s the worlds largest Mc Donald’s only a mile or so from where the first Mc Donald’s stood. A whole station with a few dining cars to eat in, a huge gift shop and a radio station. Radio station? Whatever. We should do a show. As for the food? Same old Bug Mac. .
That's where I grew up! Played baseball with the owners son! Haven't been there in years! Stoked you got to visit
Great presentation folks! If I were to ever visit LA this would be my first stop before 'crummy' history museum food. Thanks!
Best hotdogs and burgers in LA.
this could almost make a new scenery idea for the model railroad.
No kidding! 2 Rivarossi cars a caboose a couple of palm trees... now for the right smell...
That's a great idea!!!
What an amazing story! Loved how that John Wolfe had this brilliant idea. Thank you again for another great video!

Great looking place, great story and yummy hot dogs 🌭. Very yummy hot dogs
Loved it as always.

On that line I'll end my remarks. ☺
Crumbs on the floor perhaps?

What a cool place to eat and look at as well.
Mike
Fun people too
thats a neat hot dog stand i i remember right some where in arkansas there is what looks like a santa fe passenger car that is a coffee shop
It's cool that they saved these train cars
They look great too

Yup! Sunset is great because it’s sunset. But studio city has a crummy caboose. So alternate. Hope you two are well!! Stay fun!
Toy Man how accommodating of Carney's to have a caboose.
A new place to visit when next in LA
Go hungry. One of these is to much if your not starving
You lived in Ojai? I have worked in Ventura the last 3 years and lived in Camarillo 4 years before that!
Yup. Taught at Brooks Institute on the 33. And in Santa Barbara. Later they closed the Santa Barbara campus’s and just had the Ventura campus. Then that closed. Now it’s the new headquarters for Patagonia. Old movie studio. Neat place. But as it down sized they showed me the door. Which looking back is the best thing that ever happened to me.

that's really cool!
~ thanks for your research! ~
Thanks for watching!!
Haven't had Carnie's, but I like Tommy's Hamburgers who has some amazing Chili Dogs!
Not sure if carnies are better or if they just seem better cause they are made in a train.
Oh my goodness I’ve been there all the time their burgers and fries are really good
LAs finest. And that’s saying something.
Nice video, guys! Well, I'm going out to the kitchen and make myself a couple of hot dogs!
Onions. Gotta have stinky onions. Tomato’s sure, but if you skip the stinking onions you may as well skip the mustard. Heck skip the whole deal. Gotta have stinky onions.
Paper straws...they derailed your train of thought!! Lol!

I heard about that on the big bang theory. I also saw it in GTA except it was red instead of yellow.
Yeah they had to get special permission from union pacific. Union Pacific Is Reticular about who gets to use their colors schemes
Those hot dogs look really tasty!!
I can’t finish one. Huge.
Spent many a night eating there (Sunset location) during my working days!
What a street. I do wonder though, one of the most visited well known streets in LA and they haven’t replaced the sidewalk in about 600 years! You can hear people down in the cracks calling for help

Are these the same ones mentioned by Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory?
Yup. Top recommendation. Sheldon loves hotdogs and model trains. And 5.7 other things.
How you doing toyman, I see your making me hunger
Hard to finish one of these huge dogs but even harder not to.
