A Quick Word About Street Food

Dog In The ParkSo Elaine and I have become a little obsessed with "street" food - basically, buying hot, fresh, cooked food from a small vendor (usually a cart) on a sidewalk or squeezed between two buildings somewhere.

Recently, we caught the "Vancouver" episode of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations which featured Japadog on Burrard. This got the two of us thinking a lot about hot dogs - really good, really flavorful, sauerkraut-encrusted, mustard-drenched ones. (Chili optional.)

Yelp is your friend: "Dog In The Park", they say, is the place to go. So we did. And we love it.

"Dog In The Park" is located at the northern tip of Westlake Park, just up from the See's Candy and facing Westlake mall. It's about 6 feet of fronting, has a single, electric grill, and serves some awesome dogs. (I'm hooked on the Louisiana spicy one myself.) We've been evangelizing the place, and it seems to be taking root - Richard's been going a lot of late, and took my in-laws on Saturday. Rave reviews, all.

Give it a try. And if you know any other good hot dog places, well, post 'em in the comments.
