Definitely Gourmet
A couple of weeks ago we decided to try out a local gourmet hot dog place that opened up last year, called Dingo’s Wild & Crazy Dogs. I got a mexican veggie dog with nacho chips, hot peppers, and sour cream on it, it was the size of my head! They even have soda tastings every week and will fast chill any of their specialty pops for you.
I haven’t video blogged in a long time, so I brought my Flip video camera out for fun…
I love the cute little quick service places that are popping up in my city these days- and I love them even more because most are locally owned. There’s even a little mexican market opening up around one of my favourite haunts!
This summer is shaping up beautifully.
This video was so adorable!! And your hot dog looks amazing. I’ve been craving a veggie hot dog like mad lately. I need to step up my game and find a yummy place nearby like NOW!

Cute video! I didn’t expect the hot dogs to be so big!
P.S. How are you liking that camera?

I’m really loving it! I have the MinoHD and the quality is pretty good (not great, but good), it’s super portable & easy to pop into your bag. I’m a big fan! =)
Yummo!! I wanna find some vegie dogs in my area (no pork for me). And you look SO the happy camper with your Mister, it’s so nice to see you smiling so much! Go girl!

I want to go that place NOW.
And you are ADORABLE! HOLY.

There’s a hot dog place similar to that in Calgary that I went to with Jason a few months ago. I could barely get the thing in my mouth! I’m definitely jealous of that soda selection – it’s like a little room of heaven.

I just heard of a place near me that has hot dogs WITH MAC & CHEESE ON TOP. Can you imagine?!
.-= Suburban Sweetheart´s last blog ..Empire State of Mind(ish) =-.
Oh my gosh these are so cute and they look really tasty!! I love little gourmet pop-up stands. I can’t wait to hear more about it as you go back this summer :)
I love the video!!! So awesome. :D I love how it was a little story of your adventure. (And it totally made me want a flip video camera!!) Those hotdogs looks insanely delicious. I would love to have a place like that!! <3

There is a place like that called Hot Doug’s here in Chicago. Lines are wrapped around the block for it!
These look so.damn.good. Oh man alive! I want one!!
.-= Jen´s last blog ..GalaxyFm’s Style Hunt – I’m in! =-.
Ohhh yum! I don’t eat hot dogs of the meat type because they are super scary, but I think maybe a veggie dog would be delicious. I love little local places like that that overflow with awesome!

This video was adorableness to the max!
I can’t say I’m a big fan of hot dogs (I have this weird aversion to the buns hot dogs are in) but those dogs looked delicious!
.-= Stephany´s last blog ..Because I’m Too Worn Out For a Real Post =-.
eek! you are too cute for words! love your smile. and those hot dogs look DELISH.

How cute are you and your husband? I’m jealous of that place!

This looks delicious! I’m curious to see what Boston will have for the summer. Localness is awesome.
.-= Her´s last blog ..Little bits =-.
awww Your video made me so nostalgic (homesick?) for Canadian brands. Like 7/11 (okok we have it here too, but it’s different) and CIBC (a bank! FUN!!!) and HOTDOGS! Seriously, they don’t exist in Australia -they’re all about sausages, blech- and a veggie dog from a street vendor is the one thing I didn’t get while in Vancouver. :-(
Also, I love local, one-off places like this. I luckily live in a neighbourhood with an absolute treasuere trove of unique, hidden and just plain fabulous places to eat, shop, etc. I love it.

Oh cuteness, I love the little video! I’m always put off by doing vlogs, just because of how long it takes to collect the footage and then put it together (its so much faster just to type out your thoughts!) but then I see something as cute as this and think that perhaps I should make a cute little video of some kind . . . :)
.-= Elly´s last blog ..Behind the Bar: Take Three =-.
Wow, I’ve never seen hot dogs that would look so… deluxe! The burger van behind my uni accomodation deffinitely has room for improvement :D
Love how you are smiling all the time!
.-= Bitter Chocolate´s last blog ..the babbling drift of the past few days =-.
Why oh why don’t we live in the same city? I would love to visit that hot dog place, particularly since nachos and veggie dogs are some of my favorite things. Sorry I’ve been so bad at blogging/commenting, but I am still reading and love this little window into your life. Come out to Los Angeles, please!
.-= Lindsay´s last blog ..Dead Air =-.
I’ve never had a big hot dog like that before! Oh and you’re gorgeous!!

You are too adorable for words! Those hot dogs look totally yummy.
.-= Cait´s last blog ..what i’m not saying. =-.
oh i love this little video you made! I have 2 different video editing programs on my macbook that I’ve been so intimidated by so I haven’t played with them much but this has inspired me! Just one more thing to put on my list of fun things to do after this semester ends!! :D
.-= jimaiemarie´s last blog ..remember =-.
I haven’t had a hot dog since I’ve been vegetarian (which has been for almost 3 years now) so my mouth was WATERING at the sight of those delicious looking things.
Another thing that caught my eye… Canada has 7/11’s too! I always thought it was an American thing. ;]
.-= Ev`Yan | apricot tea.´s last blog ..redesign! =-.
You have the most lovely teeth! I’m not a fan of hot dogs at all, but they did look pretty good ;)
.-= claudia´s last blog ..free from a title =-.
Looks like good food! And your city is so beautiful! I haven’t eaten at a local place (besides chain ones) for ages but for the most part I definitely prefer them.
Adorableness.
.-= Habbala´s last blog ..The kind of friend I am. =-.
I love little locally owned shops, too! Every time I move to a new city, it’s the first thing I try to scope out. This was a cute video; I can’t get over the size of those hot dogs! (While I was watching the video, my pup kept turning her head from side to side in confusion and then tried to lick the screen, lol! She must approve, too.)

Oh, so adorable! You’ve just inspired me to create videos like this of my city =)
.-= samdotcom´s last blog ..Mid-April Things. =-.
I love locally owned places, too. I will have to watch your video when I get home tonight! Mmm, hotdogs. I love them!
Hooray for a Mexican market opening up. Mexican is probably my favorite cuisine!!
.-= Lisa from Lisa’s Yarns´s last blog ..The Music of Your Life =-.
Aww…so cute. It makes me want to get a video camera and just go around a lot of places and make fun videos.

You’re adorable, the end. <3

I would LOVE to find a place that does veggie dogs! Those look pretty insane too! :)

That was adorable Kyla. =)
.-= phampants´s last blog ..More Cowbell =-.
Woah! I hadn’t heard of this place!
I have so much eating to do this summer :o
They look really appetizing! I should know better than to read things about food in the morning when I’m hungry :)
.-= Nora´s last blog ..Lessons Learned on a Rainy Weekend =-.
Oh, little bit of vomit in my mouth. There’s a place in Calgary called Tubby Dog that makes this kind of creation. Once a year for me. Tops.
lol Not a fan? I love fancier foods, but ball park fare is just as up my alley- I think the benefit of being a vegetarian is that you can have sushi and crazy hot dogs… and you’re still only really as adventurous as tofu :)
This was such a cute video, those hotdogs look SO GOOD! :)
My work day is almost over and it was a great way to end it. x
.-= sleepyjane´s last blog ..Nice to know you =-.
OMG, that’s quite the soda collection. I’m so impressed. And those dogs … my bestie is such a sucker for hot dogs … if she knew about this place, she might make me take a road trip just to check it out!
.-= Nilsa @ SoMi Speaks´s last blog ..Dogged =-.
goshdarn a mexican veggie dog sounds divine. I’ll need to hunt out a fabulous hot dog dive here in Brisbane. Oh, who am I kidding, we have no hot dog dives. :(

Lime soda is the best! Also, I’m celebrating my one year vegetarian anniversary on May 1 (it originally started as “Meatless May”) and will definitely be dining veg-Mexican! YUM.
.-= Dani´s last blog ..10 Things I Love Tuesday =-.
Ah! This video made me smile this morning (which was desperately needed, so thanks). You are adorable and I love that you filmed yourself and mister going to a hot dog place and turned it into something that could be used in an indie flick.
Those hot dogs look amazing and holy hell, so many sodas!
I love the name of the hot dog shop so much! It looks delicious. How did it taste?
.-= Ally´s last blog ..My Weekend: Bullet-style =-.
Mmmm Looks like one of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh: Fanctuary (a hot dog shop in the basement of a downtown church). I always get their mexican dog, who knew guacamole could be do good on a hot dog? Plus they make sure all their meat was locally raised, so that’s nice.

I saw in the video that there was a brand of Soda called “Stewards” they make a orange soda that tastes just like a creamsicle…. you gotta try it!! and those Hotdogs look AMAZING!!
I love Stewards too! High quality soda is a lot of fun, I love that they do tastings here once a week, such a cool idea!
