Japadog - Gotta Try One!!

Japadog, Japadog - I hear that word a lot these days!!!  So it's an idea/turned reality of Noriki Tamura.  He opened a few food carts in Vancouver to sell his hot dog creations and it seems to have really caught on.

Seems like there are mixed reviews on the "dogs".  Lots of people say there is nothing like it and they are worth lining up for even for an hour and a half.  Others say they are overpriced and disappointing.
I am willing to try and I will let you know what I think of course.

I heard today Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook was in town and spotted at a Japadog stand in Vancouver.  I wonder if he "liked" them.
