I ate at dougie dog, 1. their dogs are too small for the bun. 2. I think they lack the flavour or a real chicago dog. 3. Just because they have a sign that says vienna beef, doesn’t mean they use it. This place in my opinion is sizzle no steak, another version of the emperor has no clothes. Eat a plain one, look at it in the bun then tell me its a great dog!!!

I’ve been eating there for awhile now since i moved to Vancouver. If you know anything about hotdogs and quality… dougiedog is where it’s at.

Tana, it might be fun if you are into hot dogs. Revisit was partially a no brainer considering you could easily eat one or two (specially if you are hungry). Of course, by then, it ends up costing as much as some sit down meals but…

Sounds like another fun place to check out. Not sure about the price tag though. Love your review. I commend your effort to visit this place a few times for a more thorough review.:) Great work.

Simon, yeah, what happened to the plain, no fuzz burger and hot dog? Come to think about it, probably because those are so simple we want something else that has made restaurants develop something that will give them an edge. Plain hot dogs do not cut the mustard any more (no pun intended!).

i think hotdogs are one of the simpliest food to enjoy. sure i heard the saying “it’s lips and a******s” but we know better. having a hotdog at a baseball game is a must…, btw whatever happened to just plain o’mustard? having said that, my favorite is pukadog. it’s the different relishes that makes it great…, mango, pineapple, coconut, etc along with the sauce. i tried japadog; it is certainly unique. i’ll have to try the tropical dog when i’m in town next week.

Melody, huh?

Jessica, driving to Downtown might not be a good idea specially considering all the parking restrictions currently in place. Sorry, I am with M on this one!

Nicole, good to know somebody originally outside from Vancouver approves!

Holly, thanks for being a good sports and tag along.

Sherman, it is what you think it is…. As for the snap, some people do not like that texture.

Hmmm… I guess I’m going downtown for some dogs… I agree with everyone about the snap. That is what makes it. Not many places offer that type of dog. The last picture looks strangely like…. (I’m keeping your secret until tomorrows post!).

I agree with Nicole. While Japadogs is a unique Vancouver product, Dougiedogs is heaven for hot dog purists. I think the “snap” of their weiner beats Japadogs. The research (3 months of travelling the U.S. and eating hot dogs) and attention they put into their hot dogs are evident, and I can’t wait to return to try their terimayo dog.

Also, I was surprised to find that their all natural meat is 100% canadian as I thought for sure they would have imported some famous American brand.

Check out the trailer of their documentary on their website.
