Assemblymember Mike Feuer honors the popular establishment.

Assemblymember Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles), whose district includes West Hollywood, has named Pink's Hot Dogs Assembly District 42's "Small Business of the Year."  

The famous eatery, at 709 North La Brea Ave., is owned by Richard, Gloria and Beverly Pink.

Feuer said the honor is only fitting given the large number of customers who consistently stand in line for one of the restaurant's famous hot dogs, referring to Pink's as a "Los Angeles institution."
