It was good enough for Spouse to go back with me when I'm up there at the end of the month.

ALSO: totally great edit by the almost-but-not-quite cholesterol Southerner.

I'd love to see a shot of the dogs you taste.  I'm also unsure how to take the idea of a seafood tasting hot dog.  I don't typically like hotdogs, but I'd be open to trying such a  thing.

Japadog reviews are in: "It was interesting. I've never had a hotdog that I could have sworn was a giraffe."

Have I mentioned lately how much I love this filter.

I'll put that on file and try to make it a thing.

NO JAPADOG, NO LIFE!



[a couple of #3 Onoshi doggies. Mackerel played a role in these bad dudes. It was basically a split sausage dog that was beefy good with mackerel slivers and light onion. The bun was toasted slightly crispy and it was hot as hell to hold there like that. There was a mayo and other red sauce applied and it was a damn good street dog. Y'know how they yell happy sounding stuff in sushi places? Well, Japadog is just as enthusiastic.]

Cool!  Glad to know you got a life. 

I really don't like weiners in general, so I have my doubts about this, but I am a bit of a Japan-o-file so it still has the sheen of vague coolness about it in general because of this.  I'm all for food that is an experience, so maybe that is the way to take it. I would try a Japadog if I happened to be out West.

They also have bratwurst, jalapeno-cheese sausage and a pork sausage along with the standard weiners. I went with a pork sausage that was quite good. They do a set of cross-cuts to the sausage so they are still moist, but it lets out enough that it's not like biting into a shot of hot burning grease.

Actually, it was a good weekend for sausage, my first night in town Spouse and I headed over to Ukrainian Village. Apparently, Ukrainian ice tea means you mix tea with a sweet red wine and lots of ice to get a cup of awesome. They did a hand made sausage on site that was excellent and the veal schnitzel was melt in the mouth delicious.

Cafe Crepe on Robson was awesome because I was able to get eggs, sausage and a spinach and feta crepe for brunch along with a Granville Island Honey ale.

The Cactus Club on Robson kicked loose with some delicious twice baked short ribs with creamed squash that really worked out.

Chill Winston down in Gastown was great because of the patio seating and a cool vibe. The bison short ribs and the venison rack were done plumb right. The Bloody Lord Nelson was a smashing good cocktail.

At Bridges the crab & halibut cake burger was fine along with another Granville Island ale, but the outside seating view made it even better:



I hope you've enjoyed my gastronomical tour of Vancouver...

I am a bit of a Japan-o-file so

When my brothers and I divided my mother's random material goods, there was so much cool old Japanese stuff from when we lived there in the late-60s/early-70s. So many cool memories, and we all got neat things to remember and display. Lots of crazy books, too!

Based on outward appearances that Ukranian place looks like the best of the bunch.  Also, I covet your hot dogs.

Actually, it was the crepe place where the guys were wanting my wiener. We popped in there the morning of the Gay Pride parade and the restaurant was right near the start of the parade route. Mostly gay customers and mostly gay staff in the place. I liked getting fawned over like a great big teddy-bear, it cracked Spouse up and added an extra layer of fun to the meal.

[of course it was probably aimed at increasing the tip percentage. that doesn't mean nothing but that gay people in the service industry are just as sharp as anyone else. like the server at the cactus bar with the low slung dress that her nipples kept shooting out of.]
