Attorney even in a coffee – Absurd of the day

Legal Grind Café owner Jeffrey Hughes likes comparing his coffee-and-counsel concept to the visions of showman P.T. Barnum, banker A. P. Giannini and even pornographer Larry Flynt. Just don't compare him to those hot dog guys in Van Nuys.

Sure, the Law Dogs hot dog stand was there first, with attorneys dispensing foot-longs and free advice on Wednesday nights. Both establishments serve the Los Angeles area, and both ply customers with food and drink.
