Post by: side_show on June 11, 2011, 10:07:35 pm: Waahoooo! It's Japadog (http://www.japadog.com/menu/index.html).

Ash, next time you go see the wife, send a review our way, okay?

Now I got two hotdog stands to visit. Ha ha.

Post by: pmcd9 on June 12, 2011, 06:20:20 pm: Actually, I'm all talk. There's a new hotdog stand (http://www.houstonpress.com/2010-10-21/music/moon-tower-inn/) in Houston that I've heard great things about, but have yet to visit.

I guess gourmet hotdog places are a new trend. I'm all for it.

Then I made a dirty joke.

Of course you did.

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

I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

I finally made it to my local gourmet hotdog place. I had the wild boar dog, which was good. I'm not sure I'm down with artisan hot dogs though. Also, the place was crawling with hipsters.

Post by: side_show on July 04, 2011, 02:35:22 pm: 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.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love this filter.

Post by: side_show on August 03, 2011, 06:31:05 pm: 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.

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!
