| - BEST F-IN HOT DOGS EVER!!!
Huge. Messy. Unbelievably good. The PERFECT 3am noms.
Try their Slaw Dog. Huge, with a heaping helping of coleslaw and cheese on it, and a giant pickle for garnish.
Or their classic Tubby Dog. Huge, with a heaping serving of chili, bacon, mustard, cheese, etc.
Or maybe their Sumo. Huge, with piles of seaweed, wasabi mayo, pickled ginger. Wacky, but it works.
And when you're feeling particularly adventurous, try the PBJ. My personal favourite. It is exactly what it sounds like, a huge tubby dog slathered with.. you guessed it, peanut butter and jelly. Topped with Cap'n Crunch. Fellow 3am partyers, this is as good as it gets. If you like peanut butter, this is the best hot dog that you'll ever have the pleasure of biting into. It's so good it makes me wish the already giant hot dog was even bigger so this PBJ journey would never have to end. This tubby dog will make you want to lick the styrofoam container clean.
During the day you can walk into their establishment, have a seat at a table with forks and knives and all, and pretend to be civilized. But you will eventually give up because there is no being civilized with forks and spoons when it comes to eating a tubby dog. At some point during the night, they close their doors and only keep a takeout window open until around 3am I believe. Thats when lineups form, and the crowds stumble over to the streets, the wooden benches, the sidewalks, etc with their tubby dogs in styrofoam containers. Post-partying booze-and-tubby-dog-fuelled late night revelry at its best.
A Calgary classic. That's it that's all.
