I Love Hot Dogs

This is the photo I want to use for my profile, and posting it as a blog entry seems to be the only way to get it done (that I can figure out). So I might as well tell you about this fantastic hot dog! I got it from a street vendor in Waterloo, Ontario during my recent Cross-Canada road trip. Now, I love hot dogs (obvious). And I hear from some that street vendor dogs are to be avoided. I've never had a problem with one, and they were a cheap and available food source for me in Toronto especially. If I want one here in Victoria though, it's either at 7-11 (cheap) or from Bethy's mom's kitchen (free). Never Mr. Tube Steak! Somehow that seems too much to pay at home but not on the road. The big city dogs are great, usually two bucks, and come with a wide variety of toppings. Never had green olives in a hot dog until Toronto! The best hot dogs I've ever devoured are from the Dog House restaurant in Duncan, and from a small cafe in Montreal. The latter was a foot long wrapped in fresh dough and baked up right around the weiner, awesome! The dogs at Bear Mountain Arena are pretty good too, you can add fresh tomatoes.
