While in Vancouver, we had to swing by this hot dog stand place that was featured on No Reservations. Driving around downtown, we spotted hot dog stands on nearly every corner (I was particularly interested in the MexiDog stand, that sounded good), but didn't stop until we found it. And there it was, in front of the Sutton Place Hotel, like they said. Japa Dog!
We found it! Their digs. Are there health inspections for these stands?
What will it be?
The Terimayo for the hubster (topped with... pickled veggies, seaweed and sweet pickles?), and the Oroshi for me (topped with radish, soy sauce and green onions)
Was it the best hot dog I've ever had? Well, I don't know how you can go wrong with a hot dog... but I gotta say, I tend to lean towards the bacon-wrapped ones, especially when leaving the Coliseum full of energy and victory in the chilly night air, surrounded by bacon-wrapped hot dogs being grilled in every direction you turn... oh yeah. That's the stuff.
Sorry about that. Back to Japa Dog. Was I glad I tried it? Yes, why not? Would I try it again? Not necessarily. But if I'm ever back on those streets, I'm looking for the MexiDog stand. "Can I get carne asada on top of that hot dog?"
