Chicago’s known for their deep dish pizza/steakhouses (and hot dogs). NY’s famous for bagels/thin crust pizza. Nothing screams SF louder than Sourdough. Seattle’s known for being the birthplace of coffee. The little push pin on my traveling map now targets Vancouver. And I associate it for birthing this whole new food revolution starting with… *drumroll please….* Japadog!
Yes… Japadog. It’s as if Tokyo and Chicago got together after a drunken night and produced a fusion of the two cities best foods. Hot dogs… with a twist on the toppings! I heard about this amazing hot dog stand prior to my trip up to Vancouver and made it my mission to have at least a meal here. After driving around aimlessly, we finally found the Japadog stand.
And then we proceeded to order some to eat!
(For the record… Those are not my cuticles… ;))
Yes… Grated raw daikon doesn’t sound the most appealing but this was darned good hot dog! Somehow everything managed to meld and work together.
I still crave a nice Japadog… There are now some wannabes that have popped up here in California but nothing like the original Japadog…
