I'm giving Tubby Dog 5 stars based on the fact that because of the ingenious idea behind this business, Calgary is known across the country.
When I lived in Toronto, any time I'd mention that I had moved from Calgary, people would instantly make reference to Tubby Dog. It was quite shocking to me that Tubby Dog is that notorious, but it is! Even coworkers who would travel to Calgary for a variety of shoots would make it a point to have at least one stop in at Tubby Dog.
With a variety of hot dogs that even your wildest dreams cannot muster up, Tubby Dog is a true gem in our city. Although I personally do not frequent it often, I recognize that it's as popular with locals as it is with tourists.
Not only does Tubby Dog build a mean hot dog, but they build character in our city and for that they get 5 stars hands down.
