This week Huell gets "pink", that is he gets one of Pink's famous chili-cheese dogs, visits the oldest hydroelectric plants in America outside Fresno, and heads over to the Sons of Norway Lodge in Van Nuys for a little something called Lutefisk. (For more information on these and other episodes - as well as a chance to purchase them - you can always visit Huell at www.calgold.com).

Thursday - November 5; 7:30pm: Pinks - Family owned and operated since 1939, Huell gets the lowdown on this shrine to the chilie-cheese dog from Mrs. Pink and a handful of enthusiastic patrons, many who have been eating at Pinkssince their childhood.
Related: A loyal Pink’s Hot Dog fan made this wonderful slideshow set to nostalgic 1930s music. You can practically taste the chili-cheese!


Friday - November 6, 2009; 7:30pm: Lutefisk - Huell partakes in Scandinavian rite passage when the Sons of Norway Lodge, Van Nuys, prepare Lutefisk. Fortunately for some they remembered the meatballs, just in case.
