“If we’re going to blog about Costco, you definitely have to eat your first Costco hot dog,” Tina said, and I had to agree. So we were off to the Los Feliz store.
She worked near a Costco in Northridge, at a financial institution that bought company store items from the outlet, so coworkers making Costco runs would come by her desk and drop off an occasional hot dog, pizza slice or chicken bake (it pays to suck up to the manager). I’ve been a devotee of legendary Costco pizza for years, but had yet to sample the wonders of the Costco dog – until Friday. We needed to pick up a few things – and generate something to write about here – so yeah, the quarter-pound all-beef dog was spectacular, grilled and greaseless. And only $1.50, drink included. We left with, among other things, a large bottle of Pom pomegranate juice for $7.99 (I’ve seen it for nearly twice as much elsewhere) and a two-pack of large French’s mustard for under 5 bucks.
Most importantly, the free samples were high quality and in nice portions – lots of fish and chocolate, meatless due to it being Friday and Lent to boot, as Tina smartly pointed out.
The headliner was clearly lobster ravioli. Definitely worth waiting 5 minutes for a fresh batch. We’re planning another trip closer to Easter.
Here’s the rest of Friday’s lineup:
Hake fish
Alaska salmon burger
French Brie on crackers
Crescent roll stuffed with Kirkland turkey breast
Morningstar Farms veggie sausage patty
Various forms of chocolate: No-sugar-added Belgian white and dark, chocolate-covered almonds and blueberries
Seafood spread and spinach spread on crackers
Frosty strawberry smoothie
