Was it over when the Japs dogged Vancouver?

Japadog rules.

The Japadog cart was right outside of our hotel in Vancouver, and we had it more than once.

Vancouver's world-famous "Japadog"

Never heard of it, not even when I was in Vancouver.

I tried it out a couple of years back and thought it was pretty good, although I don't get downtown enough, and the Japadogs aren't a big enough draw for me to just go downtown. They are kinda expensive, and for the most part, are basically hot dogs with Japanese style condiments (Japanese mayonnaise, Nori flakes, Teriyaki sauce, etc.), but for what I'm paying, I'd rather just have sushi.

I guess I'll just say it since Fark never seems to stop hating on Chicago.


Chicago dogs/pizza > New york style

I, also, approve of Japadog. The downtown cart I ate at repeatedly during my visit seemed kinda touristy (quite possibly the same one you visited), but since it was awesome I'm willing to overlook that. Terimayo FTW.

Our hotel was at the corner of Robson and Burrard, so that's probably the one. Doesn't get more touristy than that.

Cripes, I need to get back to Vancouver.

Who care? Eat it, enjoy it and belch loudly afterwards

/anybody that's ever gone hungry before knows the value of eating what's available

How about one with uni? Or natto?

/gag

Well, considering New York has the most digusting street hot dogs I've ever encountered, I doubt Japadog has to be that good to beat them.

Seriously - boiled hot dogs? With only mustard and ketchup? What the hell?

Even in Toronto - which is overall a street-food wasteland - the hot dogs (and sausages) are at least grilled and come with a wide variety of condiments (sauerkraut, bacon bits, and olives are all standardly available).

At the first sign of losing, the Vancouver entrant will just fall to the ground and look for the referee.

Psh. They wouldn't last a month in Chicago.

Particularly if Chelsea Dagger is the competition song.

Approves

Sword fight!

Got 2 in Seattle, Pike Place MArket and 2nd and PIke and both are disgusting and I'll eat anything.

Dammit condiments ruin a good hot dog.
Meat and bun and done.

My neighborhood's hotdog factory rules THE WORLD!!

I am gonna open a Koreadog stand. Biatches love being covered in kimchee.

When I was a child I did not get to eat anything at all between the ages of 4 and 6.

My favorite chili cheese dogs.

You sound dead.

exvaxman: AlwaysRightBoy: I will add to this; there is nothing better than getting a Sabrett dog... with just mustard.

Only if it is the old recipe. The new sabretts that I get locally are nothing like the older recipe.

charcoal-grilled, pork and beef in a natural casing so they *crack* when you bite 'em...

Ted's and Redlinski's... nothing else compares.

/chardogs ftw

Ochinko.

Best hot dog in the world is from a place called Hirams in Fort Lee NJ. Dog on a bun, with a little raw onion and mustard.

/2 with a Schiltz on tap is part of my NJ food tour.
//Chicago dogs are so bad they have to put a salad on top to hide the taste
///a proper dirty water dog from truck on midland ave in Garfield would come in second.best.

It's a simple answer Taste

/have you ever had a dirty water dog that was pissed in by the vendor??????

China goes one better... Tongzi Dan! (new window)

Last time I was in Vancouver there were a ton of other carts trying to get in on the action. Mexidog, some Italian hot dog cart and another one that I think was trying to be the UN of hotdogs. Never saw anyone buy a single dog from any of them. The line at the Japadog cart however was always down the street. Probably would have been quicker to walk over to the English Bay store front.

Japadogs sound DELICIOUS!

I'll try anything twice. The first time is to get past the gag reflex ;)

The Sutton Place?

I'm not a huge fan of Japadog, but they are very popular. Up until about two years ago, mobile venders were only allowed to sell hot dogs or nuts (and drinks). Japadog was an ingenious way to capitalize on Vancouver's obsession with Japanese food while fitting in with city bylaws. It was a good idea, and they are doing very well for themselves.

Recently, Vancouver has changed the laws around mobile vendors selling food. Some of the city's best foods can be found in food carts.
