This right here is the real deal.
Japadog is one of the most popular restaurants in Vancouver — and it’s a street-car vendor serving hot dogs.
I kid you not.
Oh, and did I mention the hot dogs aren’t just hot dogs? They’re topped with all sorts of Japanese sauces and condiments; it’s quite gruesome — until you eat it.
I’m a believer — although this photo was taken *before* I ate the hot dog. Afterwards, I was in that rare state of culinary satisfaction — thanks to an all-beef frank with onions, nori (the seaweed in sushi), and teriyaki sauce on top.
It’s the good stuff, attested to not just by me but also by world-renowned “famous people” Steven Seagal and Ice Cube (who, by the way, seem ripe to star in a CIA buddy comedy together, no?). And the folks in Vancouver love it — the main location has lines down the block, and the secondary one (the closer one to me) is picking up steam as well.
The video story aired on The Daily 11 @ 7; when it appears on the web, I’ll let you know!

Sometimes, falling asleep on the job results in awesomeness. Even people who don’t care for Oreos must respect this.
