On our way through Calgary, we had two places to hit: Earth Gems and Tubby Dog.
What a wonderful surprise it was to find that Tubby Dog is actually on TOP of Earth Gems. Yes! Only need to find parking once!
The tales of Tubby Dog have made me salivate for years, and it was finally time to dig in and see if all the hype was legit.
These dogs are delicious. The key is the fact they aren't afraid to pile on the toppings, which are then steamed (They key to any amazing hot dog) to gooey-cheesed, soft-bunned perfection.
I like the divey feel to this place - you're not visiting for long, and it's laid back with no pretense - the way a hot dog joint SHOULD be.
Bonus points for the fact that they were playing "The Birds" on the back wall, and they have pinball machines to keep you occupied while your waiting for your tasty dog.
Next time we're trying the Cap'n Crunch dog. Can't wait.
