Earlez Grille: Hot Dog Thrillers

Sit at Duane Earle's place long enough, and all of Crenshaw passes by

Is the green salad dressed with hemp? I’ve heard the rumors.

There is hardly a revenue stream that Earlez has overlooked. The screen next to the flashing menu is an electronic billboard advertising mobile DJ services and local restaurants. Light boxes surround the dining room at eye level, and you can display your wares or plug your concert there for a few dollars a month. There is a mobile grill available for catered sausage parties, Natural High poetry slams on Wednesday nights, karaoke on Fridays and lowrider-thronged Cruise Night when the Earles feel like it.

“You’re back for the hot dogs,” Duane said the last time I stopped by. “The first time, we get you; the second time, we prove it to you.”

“What about the third time?” I said.

“The third time,” said Duane, “is to demonstrate that the first two times weren’t a dream.”
