| - I know, I can't believe it either - 5 stars for a whole in the wall serving hot dogs...
BUT THEY'RE SOOOO GOOD ON SO MANY LEVELS.
Tubby Dog is a little hipster joint on 17th Ave in Calgary, which sells - as the name suggests - tubby dogs (tubby 'cause they're kinda fat). I'm not sure how to describe the atmosphere seeing as it's kind of retro, sometimes people watch movies on the back wall and tonight a bunch of people were playing Street Fighter on tv's. So it is what it is. Cute, laid back and fun.
On to the dogs. They're creative in so many ways. They take a 1/3 lb hot dog (some are wrapped in bacon), put them in a freshly baked bun (so soft and fresh) and then top them with the most random (but delicious) concoctions. Tonight I had the "Yan Yeti IV" (I don't know what that means), but it was a hot dog topped with poutine. Please sign me up for angioplasty any day now as I can feel the need for it coming on. My friend had a hot dog topped with mustard, ketchup, bacon, cheese (so far boring) - but then POTATO CHIPS. Weird - yet both were delicious. Not to overshadow the star of the joint, but the homemade french fries are beyond amazing. They are very brown and home cut.
For being what it is and doing what it does, it does this well - so for that I say 5 stars. I loooves me some Tubby Dog.
