There use to be an Italian Deli downtown named Dario’s that had
sandwiches named after L.A.’s political and business leaders: Al
Campanis (Gen. Mgr. L.A. Dodgers), Joe Busch the D.A., many others I
can’t remember. Some named items lasted after the namesakes were gone

Then there is Pink’s Hot Dogs in Hollywood (established 1939):
Martha Stewart Dog, Rosie O’Donnell Dog, Huell Howser Dog, Ozzy
Osbourne Dog

There is also a wall there that is filled with autographed photos of
celebrities chowing down on Pink’s dogs.
