Is it just me or has there been a recent explosion of hot dogs into the culinary world? Well at any rate, it's certainly a delicious explosion! I thought I would write about this recent phenomenon in honour of my favourite hockey team's Wiener Wednesday nights!! If y'all live in the Edmonton area you ought to get out to an Oil King's Wiener Wednesday before the end of the season to see what all the hype is about!! $2 dogs and the entertainment ain't bad either!
Another place you simply must check out if you live anywhere near Alberta is Tubby Dog in Calgary. I stopped in a few weeks ago based on word of mouth from a friend how amazing it is and I was not disappointed! They have all kinds of crazy concoctions of dogs there! Everything from a chili and coleslaw dog to a PB & J and Capt'n Crunch dog. I wasn't so brave as to try the latter, but it is now tradition for us to stop in every time we are in Calgary and have a Tubby Dog!
Tubby Dog is also a restaurant that is going to be featured on one of my new favourite shows on the Food Network, "You Gotta Eat Here." Make sure you check it out! Following the trend of hot dog restaurants, I just caught Dougie Dog's on Dragon's Den the other night, not to mention they've been making headlines as the innovators of the world's most expensive hot dog! A $100 dog that requires you to order 24 hours in advance so that they can prep the ingredients! I don't think I'll be spending $100 on street meat any time soon, but it's definitely a place on my "to eat" list!
All this excitement over hot dogs has got me ready to jump on the doggy bandwagon myself! I think one of my next culinary adventures will have to be an experimental trip into the world of wieners!
Happy Eating!
